- Abstract: Data on the potential generation of energy from wind, solar and biomass is crucial for analysing their development, as it sets the limits on how much additional capacity it is feasible to install. This paper presents the methodologies used for the development of ENSPRESO, ENergy System Potentials for Renewable Energy SOurces, an EU-28 wide, open dataset for energy models on renewable energy potentials, at national and regional levels for the 2010–2050 period. In ENSPRESO, coherent GIS-based land-restriction scenarios are developed. For wind, resource evaluation also considers setback distances, as well as high resolution geo-spatial wind speed data. For solar, potentials are derived from irradiation data and available area for solar applications. Both wind and solar have separately a potential electricity production which is equivalent to three times the EU's 2016 electricity demand, with wind onshore and solar requiring 16% and 1.4% of total land, respectively. For biomass, agriculture, forestry and waste sectors are considered. Their respective sustainable potentials are equivalent to a minimum 10%, 1.5% and 1% of the total EU primary energy use. ENSPRESO can enrich the results of any energy model (e.g. JRC-EU-TIMES) by improving its analyses of the competition and complementarity of energy technologies. Highlights: ENSPRESO is an EU-28 wide open (C.C. Attribution 4.0.) dataset on potentials of wind, solar and biomass resources.

Highlights: ENSPRESO is an EU-28 wide open (C.C. Attribution 4.0.) dataset on potentials of wind, solar and biomass resources. ENSPRESO estimates potential land use, capacities and energy production for 276 regions. ENSPRESO is based on coherent land-restriction scenarios and bottom-up resource analysis. ENSPRESO improves modelling of competition and complementarity of energy technologies. … (more)
