26 Earth observation 26 EO Downstream applications Reccomended project size Indicative budget Type of action Copernicus data and information are expected to unleash unique market opportunities. Proposals may address a wide variety of applications stemming from the use of Earth observation and its smart integration with other related technologies The outcome of this innovation project should be a commercial service platform, sustained by a production process capable to deliver to the user a product which is validated and accepted as a marketable product 1 to 2 M 12 M Innovation Actions Corresponding validations and customisations are to be undertaken, and the business case for the application is to be demonstrated The choice of EO application is left to the proposer

27 Process View Copernicus Value Chain Source: GMV/Tec partners/fdc /NOVELTIS Important role for H2020 to enable 27

28 To be kept in mind: The focus must be on innovation with a quick path to market Demonstrated involvement of new customers Integrate EO data into markets, esp. non-space contexts Integration of contributors such as Internet of Things (IoT), sensorwebs, UAV and/or other space and non-space data Engagement with existing and emerging content delivery channels e.g. In-Car Information systems, Health Platforms, Renewable Energy, Insurance Innovative application environments that e.g. facilitate the handling of EO data in a big data context Extract additional benefit from Copernicus/EO and other data by using big data analytics

29 Earth observation 29 EO EO Big Data Shift Effective access to Copernicus data & information is a sine qua non condition. Technical challenges are Sheer volume of data and information Data at higher spatial and temporal resolutions New Big Data techniques emerging Bring user to data with embedded processing capabilities Need for new approach for data curation and dissemination Need for an effective and scalable access system Need to cover the full data cycle needs Activities are expected to address the adaptation of big data technologies to Copernicus user scenarios Activities to include the development of tools Take into account needs of non-experts, expert users, SME innovative enterprises Reccomended project size Indicative budget Type of action 1 to 2 M 6,5 M Research and Innovation Actions Participation of industry, including SMEs, is encouraged

30 Copernicus context To be kept in mind: A further guidance document will be released by the Commission in the next weeks. It is important for the projects to focus on solutions and applications that are portable in different big data computing environments (scalable!). H2020 projects should be forward looking, beyond what exists at the moment in Copernicus dissemination channels. Projects should provide an added value by addressing big data platforms holding different types of EO data, amongst which Copernicus is a major source.

31 New tools and applications needed in the context of the exploitation of Copernicus data and information in a big data environment: Not platform specific Modular, and scalable Aiming at new functions Facilitating third party front office deployment and use Providing innovative tools for intermediary/end users Demonstrator Business model service-based rather than software licensing based (open source licensing much favoured to ease deployment on platforms)

32 Earth observation 32 EO Preparation for a European capacity to monitor CO 2 anthropogenic emissions To bring together the key European stakeholders and competent entities to advance a coordinated preparation of a mature European capacity. Encompasses coordination of ongoing efforts (e.g. H2020, national and ESA studies) Includes identification of research and infrastructural gaps. Action is designed to support the COM-ESA process of task force activities to Lay the mature foundation for an independent space borne observation capacity for CO2 Lay the foundation for the operational integration of all European capacities as a subsequent step Reccomended project size Indicative budget Type of action single 3,5 M Coordination and Support Action

33 Meeting a user need through the Copernicus Component Evolution Plan Identified user need CO 2 expert report on need for space-borne CO 2 observation capacity /library/co2_report_22oct2015.pdf 33 Extended Sentinel life gives scope for Sentinel Evolution European CO 2 emission monitoring capacity Scope in DA for preparatory activities ESA programme renewal EOEP-5 (HPCM) CMIN 2016; CMIN 2019 H2020 support to Copernicus evolution Commission prep of next MFF in 2019 Complementary funding tools for short and long term

34 Fossil CO 2 Emissions within Copernicus Where do we stand? Member States (Copernicus UF and committee; ESA PB-EO) have been consulted. The CO 2 initiative is integrated in the context of the Copernicus Component evolution plan (supported by ESA through EOEP-4 & 5 programmes). Users consultation Workshop organized on March 11, Nomination of a CO 2 monitoring task force with two interactive WPs: Task A (co-convened by ESA-EC): Focus on the space component - more specifically a CO 2 pre-operational mission (1 st meeting July 11-12, 2 nd meeting October 19-20). Task B (convened by EC with some common membership of Task force A): Address issues related to ground-based infrastructure an end-to end operational emission monitoring system (1 st meeting in November). 34

35 Challenge for a European CO2 capacity Achieve a requirement-driven integration of existing remote-sensing, in situ and modelling capabilities for an end-to-end system design Optimise the necessary in-situ design in terms of measurements needed, by when and on what scale, to support the satellite retrievals (i.e., the CO 2 column integrated content) as well as the relative contribution from anthropogenic emissions. Identify existing inverse modelling approaches with their respective pros and cons and the steps needed (i.e. studies) towards an operational system (e.g., particular attention to be given to reconciling bias removal- ground-based and satellite retrieval estimates) Dimension the required system to achieve an operational analysis & forecast system Centre for CO 2,also with regard to the computing, big data processing and storage/dissemination infrastructure needs. Define the R&D tasks which need to be followed-up through H2020 in post-2017 calls and/or other suitable funding opportunities. 35

36 EO CSA to establish the basis for an integrated end-to-end system design, that relies on existing remote-sensing, in situ and modelling capabilities Reconcile Top-down and bottom-up estimates Establish a library of simulations for emissions and atmospheric transport Quantify uncertainty trade-offs in fossil fuel emissions Establish a basis for attributing CO2 emissions from in-situ measurements 36
