Space for the future: green steel, sweet air, happy plants
For decades, satellites have been instrumental in monitoring our changing climate and improving our understanding of the processes that drive it. But to achieve our climate goals and make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, we need ideas that take the next step and begin to use space technologies to actively prevent, slow, reverse or otherwise address these changes.
Through the Open Space Innovation Platform (OSIP), ESA’s Discovery element issued a call last year for ‘New ideas for how space can boost Europe’s green future’, in collaboration with ESA’s new commercialisation department.
