PIISA
Climate Service in Southern Africa
The PIISA project and its consortium partners aim at
developing innovative insurance products that are tailored to specific contexts
and promote virtuous interaction between risk sharing and risk reduction in
adaptation planning and implementation.
The envisaged insurance products in PIISA are unique in three ways:
they employ novel or yet scarcely used risk sharing mechanisms, use new climate risk data services,
and allow smart interaction with adaptation efforts resulting in increased overall resilience.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and
innovation programme under grant agreement No 101112841.

PENGUIN
AI-Powered renewable energy sources forecasting
Solar energy forecasting model
PENGUIN is a game-changing tool that provides precise, AI-enhanced short-term forecasts of key variables
that impact the availability and harnessing of renewable energy from solar sources.
PENGUIN data leverage state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning models to anticipate load fluctuations
linked with the natural variability of renewable energy sources (RES). By combining precision in forecasting with
flexibility of implementation, PENGUIN aims at becoming the essential tool for supporting energy balancing operators
of the renewable energy sector.

ARIA
Enhanced short-term wind forecasts
ARIA is an innovative AI-based tool aimed at improving short-term forecasts for the wind energy industry.
The ARIA tool aims at overcoming the limitations of traditional meteorological forecasts by leveraging advanced AI
techniques to provide accurate and fine-scale estimates of wind speed up to 24-72 hours in advance.
ARIA’s accurate and fine-scale wind speed estimates empower operators of the wind energy sector to enhance
energy generation efficiency, reduce imbalances, lower related costs, and improve maintenance planning.
ARIA is currently under development by a consortium composed of Amigo and ANEV (the Italian Association for Wind Energy).

FOCUSAfrica
Climate Service in Southern Africa
Co-designed solutions for Africa
FOCUS-Africa will develop tailored climate services in the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region
for the energy, water, infrastructure and food security sectors.
The initiative, which promotes a huge engagement of stakeholders and primary players in all the sectors, aims to
1) advance the way in which climate information is processed and used in the decision-making process,
2) contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge, and
3) characterize end-user requirements and policies.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 869575.

ClimOP
Climate assessment of innovative Mitigation strategies towards Operational improvements in aviation
The future of aviation
ClimOP aims to develop mitigation strategies for a sustainable and resilient aviation and
investigates possible operational improvements that can actually have a positive impact on climate,
taking non-CO2 effects into account. Subsequently, it will analyse and propose harmonized mitigation
strategies that foster the implementation of these operational improvements.
Amigo is taking part in the assessment of innovative mitigation strategies for both in-flight and ground operations,
as well as airport infrastructures, and their interaction with climate conditions,
in order to have a better understanding of their long-term impact.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 875503.

TiPes
Tipping Points in the Earth System
Mapping the climate sensitivity of the planet
The TiPES project is focused on research and aims to better quantify the tipping elements that are present
in the climate system and to ensure that climate projections also include these.
The project will provide a generalized theory of climate sensitivity that accounts for the presence of
tipping points and feedback across various time scales. The role of Amigo is to connect the theoretical
findings and research to the market by disseminating the results and provide insights on the stakeholders’ needs.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 820970.
