Status: Completed
General Objective: Explore earth observation programs, through the use of data from remote sensors and reanalysis of free access, to evaluate the potential of renewable solar, wind and geothermal energies, thus allowing to promote research activities and contribute to the decision decision towards a sustainable energy transition in Ecuador.
