A large variety of offshore activities have their claim on the North Sea domain, like fishery, offshore wind energy and offshore hydrocarbon production. Large shipping routes cross through the area and there is always a delicate balance with reserved areas for environmental protection or safety (defence area). The North Sea Energy atlas provides an international overview of a range of important activities at the North Sea in the field of energy, transport, ecology, fishery and defense. It shows the current energy flows from oil and gas production and wind energy, and visualizes new perspectives on the potential future development of our offshore energy system, including the planned expansion of wind energy production, the potential for electrification of platforms, infrastructure for hydrogen and CO2 storage, and combinations of synergetic activities in energy hubs at the North Sea. Collection of relevant datasets for spatial planning of energy activities in the North Sea area. onGoing TNO - Geological Survey of the Netherlands TNO - Geological Survey of the Netherlands Princetonlaan 6 Utrecht 3584 CB Netherlands support@geologischedienst.nl https://www.geologischedienst.nl custodian unknown Energy resources GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0 2008-06-01 publication European Spatial scope 2019-05-22 publication energy infrastructure transport networks fossil fuel Hydrogen storage carbon capture and storage EGDI Keyword Thesaurus 2026-03-25 publication Offshore, InventoryGeoenergy otherRestrictions Creative Commons BY 4.0 otherRestrictions no limitations to public access vector grid eng geoscientificInformation -13.163 36.407 48.589 72.943 0 10000 ESRI Shapefile 10.x https://nse.projectatlas.app/atlas/page/ WWW:LINK North Sea Energy Atlas Interactive atlas of the North Sea information https://north-sea-energy.eu/storage/2.-FINAL-NSE3_D1.4_Updated-data-set-description-of-the-North-Sea-Energy-Atlas.pdf WWW:LINK Updated dataset description report information COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 2010-12-08 See referenced specification Data collection from various sources mentioned per map. https://north-sea-energy.eu/storage/2.-FINAL-NSE3_D1.4_Updated-data-set-description-of-the-North-Sea-Energy-Atlas.pdf
