"The most important thing, I think, is to have led people to have confidence in themselves, to understand that at last they can sit down and write about their development, write about their happiness and say what they want. And at the same time, to feel what the price is for happiness".
Thomas SANKARA

Interests

Enel Green Power (EGP) is looking for new tools to improve the environmental sustainability and biodiversity conservation of its renewable plants, such as photovoltaic power plants and/or wind farms. In particular, EGP is looking for solutions to be applied during the construction phase of renewable power plants to detect selected species of trees or other vegetation that may be rare, in danger of extinction, or particularly important for the balance of local biodiversity in the area under consideration. or that are protected by regulation. Plant species incorrectly identified during the preliminary phase of a project could delay the construction of the renewable plant.

This challenge contributes to the following SDGs:

  • Objective 9: Build resilient infrastructures, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation
  • Objective 15: Protect, restore and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
