A comprehensive suite of high-quality datasets to support and speed up your Net Zero journey.
Resource
Access the data you need for your local area
Energy Systems Catapult has developed a series of cost effective, high-quality datasets born from over 30 years of expertise enabling you to identify suitable project locations and facilitating project design and delivery. Net Zero Data helps streamline the decision-making process.
Leveraging our profound experience in data analysis, modelling, spatial analysis, and Local Area Energy Planning, we’ve developed high quality datasets to quickly answer questions in common project feasibility assessments, based on our algorithms supported by detailed methodology documentation, all ready to use. This innovative approach equips local authorities, network operators, and renewable technology installers with insights that open data alone cannot, to strategically target potential areas suitable for Net Zero initiatives.
Net Zero Data is available right away and ready-to-use reducing the resource overheads associated with specifying, sourcing, conditioning, processing, analysing, and presenting the data in a usable format. By accessing data that’s ready to use, it allows immediate decisions to be made without waiting months for custom-made datasets to be commissioned.
We offer various data bundles that align to common project themes:
- Potential locations for renewables and storage
- Potential locations for renewable heat
- Potential locations for building retrofits
- Potential locations for electric vehicle chargers
Visualising your data
Net Zero Data can be used with visualisation tools you might already have access to such as ArcGIS by ESRI, Digital Mapping Software by Parish Online, or QGIS, to name a few (many others are available).
Don’t have a visualisation tool at your disposal? The Catapult has partnered with Advanced Infrastructure Technology to offer a data and visualisation package which enables you to achieve get the most out of the data in a self-service way, giving you the “what” and “where” for your Net Zero projects.
Why buy data from Energy Systems Catapult?
We (literally) wrote the book on Local Area Energy Planning (LAEP).
Energy Systems Catapult has developed tried and tested methodologies for location identification, by experts in local energy planning. These datasets don’t replace a LAEP or an area master plan but are designed to get you started in your projects faster.
You still need to do a full assessment as part of your project process and Net Zero Go has the tools you need to accelerate the rest of your project process.
