ESA Space Solutions’ Post

🚢 As shipping companies pledge to adopt fuel-efficient routes to align with carbon emission reduction targets, digital fleet management systems must continuously evolve and leverage real-time data. Whether addressing vessel performance, sea conditions or remote maintenance, space-enabled services and applications can play a key role in empowering the shipping sector to stay competitive and sustainable. Digitalisation and decarbonisation are inherently intertwined and pivotal to the green transition of the sector. We invite your proposals for European Space Agency - ESA funding for Feasibility Studies and Demonstration Projects that address decarbonisation of the maritime sector through digitalisation and logistics optimisation.

Fraport, the operator of Frankfurt Airport (FRA), is taking significant steps towards modernizing its ground power supply system. Fraport’s Climate Protection Strategy In line with the company’s climate protection strategy, Fraport aims to eliminate all diesel-powered units supplying electricity to parked aircraft by 2040. This initiative underscores Fraport’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and promoting sustainable practices within the aviation industry. Transition to Electric Ground Power Units (GPUs) As part of the modernization efforts, Fraport is prioritizing the installation of ground power connections at more aircraft parking positions. These connections will facilitate the use of electric ground power units (e-GPUs) instead of traditional diesel-powered units. By transitioning to e-GPUs, Fraport aims to minimize emissions and enhance the environmental sustainability of its operations. 🛫🔌 #FrankfurtAirport #ElectricPowerSupply #Sustainability #AeroBernie https://lnkd.in/dzwAUVAd

Extended deadline: 16 August 2024. The European Space Agency - ESA has extended the deadline for funding applications in its call for feasibility studies in maritime decarbonisation through data use. The scheme focusses on "sustainable space-based services and applications that address challenges related to the decarbonisation of the maritime industry". Other calls in this scheme will follow shortly: Decarbonisation through Maritime Autonomy, Ports Decarbonisation, and Green Propulsion. #maritime #shipping #sustainability #decarbonisation #funding

Sustainable mobility is the need of the hour as urbanization intensifies, with 68% of the world's population projected to live in cities by 2050 (UN). Enhancing planning and connectivity is crucial to address challenges like traffic congestion, emissions, and accessibility. Geospatial technologies offers powerful solutions. Studies show integrating GIS can reduce traffic delays by 20-25% and optimize public transit networks for up to 30% cost savings. Listen to Vaidas Ulenskas' speaking on, "Promoting Sustainable Mobility: Enhancing Planning & Connectivity," at the Infrastructure Summit. Learn how leveraging geospatial data and location intelligence can drive sustainable mobility planning and implementation. Gain insights from the expert and be part of shaping smarter, sustainable & more connected Infrastructure at Geospatial World Forum (GWF) Infrastructure summit’24.

More strong evidence that aligns with what airport executives at AAAE told AlphaStruxure in the report we published last month, and what we are hearing from #airport customers. Scaling clean, resilient energy infrastructure for airports needs to start now to meet increased loads across the airport footprint and support #decarbonization. Great work by Jacobs and Enterprise Mobility in keeping the spotlight on this topic. #aviation #resilience #energytransition #sustainability #climateaction

This may be a terrible idea, but that rarely stops me from exploring. Are there any engineers willing to talk me out of it? Are there any airports ready to try? Airports continually embrace new technology to monitor and control air traffic, potentially rendering traditional control towers obsolete. This transition raises questions about the future of these iconic structures. As airports transition to intermittent renewable energy sources, they encounter an increased need for energy storage. The unique structural characteristics of control towers make them suitable candidates for gravity batteries. This synergetic evolution would be symbolic of an airport’s transition to sustainable energy by preserving the iconic structure for renewable energy infrastructure. #aviation #airport
