The potential impact of the PAWES technology is large and can touched many sectors and many users. Indeed, the solution addresses a new, large, fast-growing market initially focused on Oil & Gas and energy market participants and now extended to new energy market segments such as, broader natural resources, but also, in a few years’ time, any industrial sector with visible physical activity could. The solutions can thus be used for many strategic purposes by public and private decision-makers. To better understand what the technology can perform and why it is strategic in our current Word, we can give the readers some clear examples. In the energy sector, the first sector with needs to which the PAWES platform had to answer, Kayrros now provides the data that public action lacks by assessing the methane emissions of companies on a global scale. The technology developed under the SME instrument makes it possible, for the first time, to detect and quantify methane emissions on a global scale and then determine their source. The platform offers public authorities the opportunity to base future legislation on reliable and standardised data and to select the energy suppliers most in line with the objectives of the Paris agreement. Thanks to PAWES, Kayrros has been able to offer a large-scale geolocation monitoring solution to help adapt the measures taken by the authorities during the covid-19 crisis. The platform was able to indicate the decrease in travel between departments and was able to confirm, thanks to very precise data, that the time spent at home has increased, except for Paris, in the Ile de France region of France. The platform is also able to measure population density to anticipate the origin of new COVID 19 clusters. The platform has shown, for example, that even if clusters have considerably decreased in the Paris conurbation, some areas such as the 18th arrondissement of the French capital still had too many local clusters. From the energy sector monitoring to the Covid 19 clusters reduction, the objective of the platform can be various but always remains strategic in the most crucial decisions.
