Precision in space, reliable and high-quality data on Earth: A simple concept that is helping to mitigate climate change through several aspects. In this webinar, we are proud to bring together the producer of high-quality infrared detection technology, LYNRED<\/strong>, with an expert in solar energy applications of the data coming from it, Reuniwatt. <\/strong>The webinar will be moderated by the experts of innovation cluster Systematic Paris-Region.<\/strong><\/p>\n The demanding requirements of space programs lead to the development of high performance, high resolution infrared detectors. Our first speaker will share up-to-date information regarding IR technology for the latest generation of meteorological satellites and explain, how Earth observation is an essential tool for climate change monitoring and mitigation.\u00a0 Meteorological data is also essential for solar energy generation, and satellites offer high-quality images which are can be analysed by Reuniwatt’s SunSat™ algorithms to provide in-depth information on irradiance conditions and solar plant performance worldwide.<\/p>\n Join our webinar to learn about the two exiting sides of how to obtain and how to use data about the Earths atmosphere and use it for climate change monitoring and mitigation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> State-of-the-Art<\/strong> infrared detectors for space applications and Earth observation Innovative infrared technology for meteorological satellites: <\/strong>Precise data about our atmosphere for meteo forecasts and climate change monitoring Climate change mitigation: High quality satellite data for renewable energy applications<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li> SunSat™ satellite-to-irradiance technology<\/strong>: reliable irradiance monitoring benefitting from constant improvement in satellite technology<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div> Philippe Chorier<\/strong> has worked in the space industry since the late 1990s and seen Lynred’s infrared imaging applications become a main asset of earth observation from space. <\/span>As Space Business Development Manager, he accompanied Lynred’s IR detectors being selected for a space launch more than once. Today, he is proud to stand behind the company’s mission to act on climate change, enabling an accurate measurement of the atmospheric concentration of CO2<\/sub> across the globe, and helping the European operational geostationary meteorological satellite system obtain the highest resolution and sensitivity of imaging data, which will take their weather forecasting capabilities to the next level.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Nicolas Schmutz <\/span><\/strong>is the founder and CEO of Reuniwatt. <\/span>In 2010, solar energy was developing very fast in Reunion Island and something had to be done to offer a safe and massive penetration of solar on the grid – that\u2019s when Nicolas founded Reuniwatt. As a pioneer in solar forecasting, it was his goal to develop the best skills in earth observation in order to deliver the best in class irradiance reconstruction. He strives to implement original thinking in the technical field: Innovation is the cornerstone of Reuniwatt\u2019s strategy, which is why we\u2019re always engaged on R&D partnerships and perform hands-on research at Reuniwatt.<\/span><\/p>\n Lola Courtillat <\/span><\/strong>is an Optics & Photonics expert, who graduated from the Institut d’Optique Graduate School (Paris, France) with a double cursus at KTH (Stockholm, Sweden). With a previous experience as Project Manager in Opticsvalley, she joined Systematic Paris-Region to be the Optics & Photonics Hub Coordinator in September 2019. Supporting members in their development, Lola has a great experience in both European (LaserGo Global, FoodPackLab, SME Instrument) and national (IOT4U, PSPC, ANR…) projects and competences in detecting business opportunities for the SME’s.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Lola Courtillat Moderator Nicolas Schmutz SpeakerAfter this webinar you’ll have an understanding of:<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
