Discover SCALE

The Space Climate League (SCALE) is a collective action launched by Aerospace Valley in 2023 to support the commercial development of SMEs and startups offering climate services based on the use of space data. SCALE's ambition is to disseminate these services and promote the use of space applications for climate change mitigation, in order to facilitate their adoption by public and private players, through awareness-raising actions. To date, the initiative is financially supported by ADEME and French Tech.

SCALE is a collective of companies based in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie regions, offering solutions using spatial data to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Their services are aimed at public players (local authorities, state administration or agencies, state bodies for the protection of natural resources...) or private players (insurance companies, construction companies, agricultural cooperatives).

The members of SCALE have joined forces in a common desire to promote and propose space applications for climate and their numerous opportunities to support the resilience of territories in the face of the challenges of climate change.


Raising awareness of space applications for climate action

As part of its drive to raise awareness of the potential of space applications for climate action among decision-makers and public and private players, the SCALE collective is organizing awareness-raising days, to help audiences become acculturated to the many possible uses of these climate services. Established as part of a co-construction process with your organization, these days will enable you to understand how spatial data can respond to your field issues, while presenting concrete application cases studies. 

THE TOPICS :

Agriculture 
In the agricultural sector, space applications can be used to optimize the use of chemical inputs, which are sources of greenhouse gases, as well as the use of water. SCALE offers solutions for the agricultural sector, to help farmers and winegrowers make the ecological transition.


Biodiversity
Spatial data can be used to measure and monitor changes in terrestrial or marine biodiversity, or to map islands of freshness in urban areas and guide revegetation policies.
Whether you're a forester, nature park manager or local authority, SCALE's solutions for preserving biodiversity may be of interest to you.

 

Water
By combining meteorological, hydrological, altimetry and satellite imagery data, space applications are invaluable tools for water management and irrigation. They can be used to track the quantity and quality of water bodies, monitor surface waters and watercourses, or provide recommendations on the amount of water to be used on a daily basis for an agricultural plot.
Whether you are a Ministry, a Water Agency, a Regional or Departmental Chamber of Agriculture, an Etablissement Public Territorial de Bassin (EPTB) or an agricultural structure (cooperative, etc.), there are solutions to meet your needs.

Renewable energies
In the energy sector, space applications can be used to optimize the siting of photovoltaic panels, taking into account criteria such as sunlight potential and land use. Others can monitor energy production in real time and establish ultra-precise production projections. Photovoltaic operators, energy suppliers...

 

Air quality
Thanks to satellites, it is now possible to locate and quantify emissions of certain greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrogen. CO2 will soon join this list with the launch of the Microcarb satellite. Solutions are proposed within the collective and provide an analysis of greenhouse gas emissions.

 

Risk management
In the field of risk management, space applications can, for example, assess the risk of flooding in real time and alert decision-makers and citizens via a cellular system. Others enable damage to be assessed rapidly after a disaster, to speed up reimbursement procedures for disaster victims, or to assess long-term risks. Local authorities, government agencies... solutions are available from SCALE.
