How space data is advancing offshore wind in BLUE-X

A growing number of projects are drawing on space-based data, with its potential to deliver near real time mapping and monitoring of the Earth and support the development of more and more use cases. One of the early projects is BLUE-X – the ‘Blue energy offshore installation accelerator’ – which is focussed on accelerating offshore renewable energy deployment. “The idea is to bring together Earth observation data, high resolution environmental datasets and analytics into one web based decision support tool,” explains project manager Simone Zepp, project manager at EOMAP.
