2. New Societal Benefit Areas
The absence of a stand-alone climate SBA in the GEO decade is a testament to the overarching importance of climate and its relevance to all SBAs.

3. GEO-VENER : Initial thoughts
No specific EO system or program dedicated to Renewable Energy (RE) exists BUT the RE domain is using EO data and systems dedicated to other domains
EO data and informations dedicated to RE exist
Lot of interesting data are available through Copernicus and GEOSS
Interest of professionnals for solutions to their questions
Not a lot of understanding of the potential of EO for RE
Not a lot of awareness
Not a lot of confidence
Bankability ?
From users of European Climatic Energy Mixes C3S project

4. BOTTOM UP and TOP-DOWN Approaches
GEO Vision for Energy
Objectives
Support the development of Earth observation products and services for energy management
Consider information to support end-to-end energy production systems (including planning, generation, transmission, distribution and integrated operations)
Promote collaboration between users and providers of Earth observation and information
Encourage the use of Earth observation and information for informed renewable energy policy planning in developing and developed countries
BOTTOM UP and TOP-DOWN Approaches

5. Life-cycle of an energy system
EO DaTA

6. A GEO community portal for energy
A GEO community portal for energy
