Explore renewable energy (RE) potential around the world: RE Explorer provides renewable energy data, analytical tools, and technical assistance to developers, policymakers, and decision makers in developing countries. RE Explorer enables users to make meaningful decisions that support low-emission development and ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
HydroSHEDS provides seamless hydrographic data products including catchment boundaries, river networks, and lakes. The various existing sub-datasets are consistent across multiple scales and resolutions in order to support regional and global hydro-environmental modeling and freshwater conservation efforts.
Offshore wind power is a fast-growing solution to the global need for clean, renewable energy. There are currently 68,848 MW operational around the world, in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas. Wind farm technology is rapidly advancing, with increasing attention paid to floating offshore wind farms positioned in deep waters, further away from the shore than traditional […]
Global-scale hydrology concentrates on the role of the terrestrial hydrological cycle in System Earth. In particular it focuses on the role of climate variability on continental hydrology, on land-surface atmosphere feedbacks and the modelling of global water scarcity and groundwater depletion. To this purpose we have built a next-generation global hydrological and water resources model PCR-GLOBWB.
The JRC-EFAS-Hydropower dataset contains the weekly hydropower inflow of pure storage plants and the daily run-of-river generation for 27 European countries. The dataset is based on the river discharge provided by the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) and on the JRC Hydropower.
Renewables Ninja allows you to run simulations of the hourly power output from wind and solar power plants located anywhere in the world. The tool is built to help make scientific-quality weather and energy data available to a wider community.
