State-of-the-art contrails detection in MTI magazine

Aviation's environmental footprint extends beyond just CO2. Non-CO2 effects like nitrogen oxide emissions and contrails also significantly influence climate change. Although contrails may seem minor, their cumulative warming effect could notably contribute to global warming by 2050. Understanding and mitigating this impact is essential for a more sustainable aviation future. Collaborative Efforts to Reduce Contrail Impact Several airlines are testing flight rerouting strategies to

Solar hybrid projekt Fekola Mine

More and more mining companies are installing solar panels on their own sites to generate clean energy for their operations. If there is a grid connection, they can partner with solar energy providers to purchase solar energy from external sources and use it in their operations. Fekola Mine is one such flagship project of Reuniwatt, and in the mining industry in general. Solar energy

Sky imagers: Assessing the climate impact of condensation trails

The images provided by Reuniwatt's sky imagers are an outstanding tool for cloud-related research. Forecasting the impact of condensation trails – so-called contrails – is one goal our sky imagers help to achieve.  Different research projects aim to provide tools to monitor the climate impact of contrails and forecast contrail formation. Learn more about contrails observation using sky imagers and the R&D projects featuring
