Subsurface Intelligence for Net-Zero: Inside the Geological Service for Europe’s GeoEnergy Atlas

Details

This session will offer an introduction to the European Geological Data Infrastructure (EGDI) and its role within the Geological Service for Europe project (GSEU), with a focus on delivering accessible, harmonised geoscientific data to support Europe’s energy transition - particularly in the context of CO₂ storage development. Participants will gain insights into the newly published Pan-European Atlas of Sustainable GeoEnergy Capacities, an evolving platform that represents an unprecedented effort to compile harmonised, cross-border data on subsurface resources relevant to geoenergy. Special focus will be given to the CO₂ Storage Atlas, which presents consistent and comparable information on potential storage sites across Europe, which is crucial for supporting infrastructure planning, regulatory frameworks, and carbon management strategies. The session will explore how EGDI underpins this work by providing digital access to harmonised geological data, as well as the methodologies and data sources behind the Atlas. Attendees will also have an opportunity to explore the data in real time and assess the usability of these tools for research, planning, and decision-making. Whether you are a subsurface data user, policy advisor, or energy researcher, this session will equip you with both knowledge and experience on how EGDI’s digital infrastructure can support a data-driven CO₂ storage future in Europe, while also enabling broader geoenergy innovation.
