EO4Infrastruture (EO4I): Demonstrating in-situ and
     space-based EO support for infrastructure management
 Objective:
           to contribute to the reduction of the existing gaps in the infrastructure management
 sector by demonstrating that EO data, combined with in-situ data as well as other EO derived
 products e.g. the ones produced by the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) in particular
 the European Ground Motion Service (EGMS) can provide a real benefit to End Users.
 Outline:
           demonstration project together with end-user organisations (public authorities and
 their supporting civil engineering entities) in three different ESA Member States.
          deployment of the monitoring system on the premises of the engaged end-users and
 a demonstration of minimum six months is part of the project

• Specific objectives include:
         •    Assessment of methane (CH4) emissions from major anthropogenic sources;
         •    Development of top-down estimates from satellite CH4;
         •    Development of emission estimates for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
         •    Assessment of ammonia (NH3) release related to agricultural;
         •    Investigation of high resolution measurements of water vapour (H2O);
         •    Assessment of high nitrogen dioxide (NO2) release from point sources;
         •    Assessment of high resolution measurements of NO2 and SO2 in combination with CO2;
         •    Development of CO2 emission estimates in tropical regions;
         •    Improvement of aerosol emissions from existing;
         •    Investigation on methanol emission;
         •    Assessment of estimates of carbonaceous aerosols, black carbon, CO and CO2

Background
Industry Growth element organized as three activity lines:
• Expand demand – use platform based approaches to embed EO based
  information services into user domain operational processes (minimize the
  difficulty of using EO)
• Best practices – work with industry sectors to establish rules, recommendations
  and benchmarks for best practice in the use of EO derived information for specific
  market sectors
• New opportunities and actors – extend and open up markets exploiting new
  technologies, tools, capabilities etc
Tenders foreseen for 2021:
•     Expand Demand – EO for Shipping
•     New Opportunities and Actors – AI based video analytics for small satellites
