Satellite monitoring
Auren is investing in satellite monitoring to combat forest fires in its operations at the Porto Primavera Hydroelectric Plant. In partnership with Visiona Espacial, a joint venture between Embraer and Telebras, the company implemented a tool that monitors 100% of its areas in São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul, helping identify fires in real time with updated images. The monitoring center also uses publicly available satellite images from NASA, allowing for an even faster response.
