SOLVING INDUSTRY CHALLENGES

Finding the right land

Renewable energy developers — solar, wind, agrivoltaic — must evaluate dozens or hundreds of candidate sites before committing to development. Each site carries potential environmental blockers: protected species, sensitive habitats, Natura 2000 zones, watercourses, regulatory constraints. Discovering these late — after land acquisition or at permitting — is costly and can kill a project entirely.

Green PRAXIS helps make the right decisions

GreenPraxis natural asset management platform enables automated pre-diagnosis of candidate sites for new projects, to rapidly assess the associated opportunities and risks. The modelling capabilities of Green Praxis enable to identify nature-based solutions and other sustainable actions that bring value to current and future sites (soil remediation, invasive species control, fire risk reduction, etc.). GreenPraxis platform enables our clients to model possibilities, develop strategies and compare them using 4 scores: costs, biodiversity, carbon sequestration, risks.

ILLUSTRATIVE USE CASE

Fast, Consistent, Affordable site screening

The Challenge

Traditional pre-diagnostics rely on field surveys and manual regulatory research, which are slow, expensive, and impossible to run at scale across a large pipeline.

The METHOD

GP-PREDIAG automates the preliminary environmental assessment of candidate sites using satellite imagery, species observation databases, and regulatory data — no field survey required at this stage. In under an hour per site, it delivers:

High-resolution habitat and land use mapping
Probability of protected fauna/flora species presence
Protection status of species and habitats (Natura 2000, national protection regimes)
Environmental risk scoring and red flags by sub-plot
Comparison of scores across candidate sites to prioritise the best options

The RESULTS

Rapid triage of a large pipeline: sites with major environmental blockers are identified and deprioritised early, before any costly commitment. Sites with low environmental stakes move forward with confidence. The process is consistent, auditable, and directly feeds into permitting and stakeholder reporting.
