Leverage unrestricted access to monitor energy facilities worldwide
The European Commission has taken a bold stance in building framework for carbon neutrality by 2050 with ambitious benchmarks by the year 2030. With tremendous investment going into new infrastructure and environmental monitoring along with considerable funding for the “Green Deal”, very high resolution (VHR) satellite imagery is poised to play a large role in the success of these initiatives.
Regular monitoring with VHR satellites is a smart and cost-effective way to keep an eye on your (and your competitors’) assets, explore new operations and prove compliance. The ability to integrate with off-the-shelf and custom software proves crucial for energy providers and analysts around the globe.
As the leading supplier of VHR imagery and the only supplier of 30 cm resolution to European data access programs, European Space Imaging is your trusted satellite imagery project partner.

DETAILED Inspection
Very high resolution satellite imagery is clear enough to show infrastructure details such as small pipes and peices of equipment. This allows precise monitoring of on-site assets. It is ideal for:
- Monitoring Righ of Way encroachment
- Equipment inventory
- Calculating reserve stocks
- Assessing damages
- Analysing infrastructure worldwide
- Optimising on-site inspections
Vegetation Management
European Space Imaging offers more spectral diversity and better spatial resolution than any other satellite imagery provider – allowing you to see more of what is actually happening on your land. A vegetation classification map, as depicted here, is derived from multispectral and stereo imagery.
The stereo imagery provides tree height data and the multispectral imagery can give insights such as plant species and health. This enables vegetation encroachment monitoring and environmental impact analysis for compliance purposes.
RESPOND TO CHANGE
VHR satellite images can be used in software utilising Artificial Intelligence (AI) to automatically detect and analyse changes. This rapidly growing technology offers “off-the-shelf” solutions for a number of applications including infrastructure asset monitoring.
The ability to remotely monitor Third Party Encroachment (TPE) along energy corridors with a high level of detail, accuracy and automation saves asset managers precious time and resources when organizing on-site inspections.

Maritime Domain Awareness in European Arctic Regions With VHR Satellite Intelligence
With the Arctic warming nearly four times faster than the average, the ice in the High North is melting and the sea is becoming increasingly navigable. In 2025 alone, 1812 vessels entered the Arctic Polar Code area, which is a 40% increase since 2013 when data collection began. While this rise in traffic presents potential commercial opportunities, more vessels also mean more risks to people and resources.
Seeing More in a Single Day: The Value of Intraday Satellite Collections
Imagine a convoy moves between 08:00 and 11:00. Or morning clouds clear by 14:00, revealing new activity. Or a structure appears at 09:30 that wasn’t visible at 07:00. If you’re working with once-daily satellite passes, you miss all of this. With intraday collections, you see it happen.
VHR Satellite Images Show Damage After Niscemi Landslide
In January 2026, Italy declared state of emergency after being hit by Cyclone Harry – a storm that brought 10-metre waves and torrential rains of over 300 mm in 48 hours. The most severely affected regions were Sicily, Calabria and Sardinia, with the damage in Sicily alone estimated to be more than 1.5 billion euros. EUSI collected Very High Resolution satellite imagery of the affected areas, including Niscemi – a Sicilian town hit by a massive landslide.
