Energiaressursside

Energiaressursside is an information portal concept used to describe a centralized repository and analysis platform for energy resources. It collects, curates, and presents data on the abundance, distribution, and use of energy resources across fossil, renewable, and nuclear categories. The term can refer to a standalone website, a subsection of an energy database, or a research project.

Core content typically includes proven reserves, resources, production and consumption figures, capacity, technology status, exploration costs, prices, and environmental indicators such as lifecycle emissions. Resource classes are oil, natural gas, coal, uranium, hydro, solar, wind, geothermal, bioenergy, and marine sources. Geographic coverage is global or regional, with metadata on data sources and time stamps. Visual tools like maps, dashboards, and time series enable trend analysis and scenario exploration.

Data are drawn from government agencies, international organizations, industry reports, academic studies, and satellite and field measurements. Standardized definitions and methodologies, such as reserves versus resources and energy balances, help ensure comparability. The site supports policy research, investment decision-making, energy modeling, and educational uses, while confronting challenges in data quality, changing accounting rules, price volatility, and the ongoing energy transition.
