Introduction

The objective of the workshop is to discuss with the energy industry what their immediate needs are and how space-based services can help to fulfil them. The workshop will present the results of the work performed in 2011, including the opportunities enabled by ESA to the wind power industry as example.
The workshop intends to continue exploring some of the opportunities already identified with the wind power industry, but it also intends to open opportunities to other renewable energies, especially biomass and solar. It is the intention of ESA to discuss with these areas similar collaboration ways with them.
