Copernicus and the Energy Challenge

The planning of renewable energy resources can benefit from geospatial data derived from satellite acquisitions, such as the open data provided by the Copernicus Program. This work presents several datasets in relation to their use for energy system analysis.

The energy sector will undergo drastic changes in the coming years, and in the future, energy production will need to rely more on renewable resources to meet the various agreements signed by countries aimed at reducing carbon emissions. An opportunity to explore and plan the use of renewable energy resources comes from geospatial data derived from satellite acquisitions. The European Earth observation program Copernicus provides numerous datasets with an Open Science approach. This paper presents multiple datasets offered by Copernicus services, analyzing their properties in relation to their use for energy system analysis, with a particular focus on renewable energies. Additionally, further satellite data acquired through the Copernicus program are presented, which may be useful for analyzing the food-energy-water nexus, a particularly emerging topic in the energy sector.
