One of the main measures to succeed in meeting decarbonization goals is the development of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). Such development, however, has a non-negligible impact on the environment, territory and society and risks clashing with other, equally important objectives.

The project aims to provide methodologies, tools and analysis to support energy planning and facilitate the development of RES through the adoption of an integrated approach, taking into account the potential of different technologies and their hybridization, such as the combination of offshore wind plants with other RES plants (waves, solar) and storage or hydrogen production systems.

The aim is also to provide an assessment of the available sources on the national territory, considering technical and territorial constraints, through the updating of tools developed in previous RdS [System Research] projects: the Geoportal, which is the access point to a set of information resources on the energy system and its interaction with the territory, and the Integrated Atlas, which provides an overall picture of the national energy sector, as well as the thematic atlases of wind and solar sources. These tools, together with studies and analyses, mean that the project can provide governments with scientific support for national and regional energy planning, taking into account various sustainability objectives.
