Useful tools and datasets
The Energy and Industry Geography Lab (EIGL) is a tool for geographical data related to energy, industry and infrastructure. The tool makes it possible to find and filter energy-related data, and create and share maps displaying this data.
The focus of the Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS) is research in solar resource assessment, photovoltaic (PV) performance studies, and the dissemination of knowledge and data about solar radiation and PV performance.
In support of developing a European CO2 Storage Atlas, the European Commission funded the CO2StoP project. The project made a first assessment of the European CO2 storage capacity, both onshore and offshore. CO2StoP also created a dataset of geological parameters that allows the assessment of potential geological CO2 storage capacity in the EU Member States. The database and visualisation tool have been developed based on the project data.
