High-resolution energy atlas : methodology and data

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.
