EU energy atlas - energy demand 2019

QR code

This dataset consists of a series of maps of the EU in TIFF format with the demand of the main groups of energy products from each category of economic activity, according to the energy balances for 2019 and the 1x1 km reference grid from EUROSTAT. The energy demand is expressed in tonnes of oil equivalent (toe). The dataset also includes for each TIFF map the corresponding OVR and XML files that might be needed by some users. Each map is named as "product_activity_demand_2019.tif". The groups of energy products considered are: solid (solid fossil fuels), oil (oil and petroleum products), gas (natural gas), others (manufactured gases, oil shale, and peat and peat products), renewables (renewables and biofuels), nuclear (nuclear heat), heat, and electricity. The economic activities are: tri (transformation inputs), neu (non-energy use), ind (industry), tra (transport), and oth (other sectors: commercial and public services, households, agriculture and fishing).

Data access

TIFF

TIFF – Tagged Image File Format – is a computer file format for storing raster graphics images, popular among graphic artists, the publishing industry and photographers. TIFF is widely supported by scanning, faxing, word processing, optical character recognition, image manipulation, desktop publishing and page-layout applications. The format was created by Aldus Corporation for use in desktop publishing.

PDF

PDF – Portable Document Format – is a file format developed to present documents, including text formatting and images, in a manner independent of application software, hardware and operating systems. Based on the PostScript language, each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, vector graphics, raster images and other information needed to display it. PDF was standardized as an open format and does not require any royalties for its implementation.

  • This report describes the assumptions and methodology used to break down national energy balances and energy scenarios and produce high-resolution gridded maps on a 1x1 km scale. The report shows, as an example, the results corresponding to the demand of natural gas for Portugal in 2019, based on public data available from EUROSTAT and the JRC’s Energy and Industry Geography Lab. Those results consist of seven gridded maps of Portugal showing an estimation of the natural gas demand in 1x1 km cells for the main headings of EUROSTAT’s 2019 energy balance: overall consumption for all purposes, demand for transformation input (use in power and heating plants, and refineries), and final consumption by industry, transport, commercial & public services, households and agriculture, forestry & fishing.
