Description:	Key Deliverables * IoT platform that measures air pollutants and greenhouse gases in London, in real-time, by combining ground sensors and satellites’ data * Real-Time monitoring and mapping of air pollution in London * Monetizing reductions of Carbon Emissions to generate revenues and/or debt financing for the London Greenwich’s Borough
Challenges:	* Cities lack the tools to monitor accurately air pollution, and do not leverage revenues or financing that can be drawn from carbon offsetting * The project will deploy and capture data from sensors positioned in the city of London (fixed and mobile sensors on bicycles and vehicles), and combine it with satellite data, in order to map precisely air pollution. The project will also test the generation of revenues from offsetting CO2 emissions from a London Tube Power Station.
Solutions:	TBD
Requirements:	* Create scope and requirements, project plan * Develop system architecture * Roll out pilot in London (Greenwich Borough) * Run pilot for 1 year (April 2017- April 2018) * Build application/demo for showcases
Kpi:	* Air Pollution levels identified * Cost savings vs existing monitoring solutions * Carbon Offsets’ amount monetized
Measurement:	* Measurement of air pollution in ppm over 6-12 month period, compared to baseline * Amount of money that can be saved by using new monitoring systems * Amount of money that can be generate on carbon markets
Standards:	* Establish and standardize the most accurate air pollution data measurement methodology * Standardization of data protocols among smart cities by using the NGSI standard (FIWARE Open Source) * The developed standards, methodology, and processes are not unique to 1 city or region and can be replicated and scaled up in multiple cities/communities. The solution is being replicated in Paris, France and has already been chosen to monitor air pollution in 100 cities/projects worldwide by US Foundation R20. * The system will have its own business model to create sustainable revenue streams.
Cybersecurity:	TBD
Impacts:	* Cleaner Air * Improved Mapping * Revenues from Air Pollution * New products * Quality of Life improved for citizens
Demonstration:	Real-time working application showing air pollution of London city on a map.
