EU energy atlas - water needs of the energy system 2022

{"This dataset contains an estimation of the amount of water needed for the supply of energy () across the EU in 2022, based on the corresponding energy balances from EUROSTAT. The dataset consists of 4 geopackage files showing the annual withdrawal and consumption of freshwater and other water resources (labelled as seawater) at 1x1 km resolution, in Mm3 per km2. There are also 4 heatmaps for illustrative purposes. ( the energy supply activities considered for this estimation are: coal mining; operation of coke oven plants, blast furnaces, and gas works; extraction of peat, oil shale, crude oil and natural gas; crude oil refining; blending of natural gas; production of primary solid biomass, charcoal, biofuels, heat and electricity)."}
