EnerMaps Open Data Management Tool aims to improve data management and accessibility in the field of energy research for the renewable energy industry.
EnerMaps’ tool accelerates and facilitates the energy transition offering a qualitative and user-friendly digital platform to the energy professionals.
The project is based on the FAIR data principle which requires data to be Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.
EnerMaps project coordinates and enriches existing energy databases to promote trans-disciplinary research and to develop partnerships between researchers and the energy professionals.
This project was granted by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 program from April 2020 to June 2022.

Accurate data for energy research is essential
However, the lack of cohesion and centralisation of energy data reduces the efficiency of both research and energy management.
EnerMaps project worked to improve data access by establishing two accessible and interconnected instruments, providing a significant number of energy datasets and perform a quality-check on a selection of critical data.
EnerMaps tool, a user-friendly Gateway
Centralising all the research articles and publications on the same platform: EnerMaps Gateway.
The research community can access an unlimited number of articles and publications about renewable energy.
Discover all the resources available on specific locations and start your energy transition easily.
To support energy research at a European level, EnerMaps’ tool helps actors in the energy industry to meet and share their knowledge easily.
