Tools

The Fossil Fuel Atlas enables users to make data-driven maps, access cutting-edge information, and communicate compelling stories.

Make maps

Through an open-access and interactive global mapping platform, and a range of transparency tools, backed by comprehensive data, users can generate maps relating to a wide variety of fossil fuel, energy, industry, ecological and social factors. 

Data, maps and visualisations from the Fossil Fuel Atlas can be used to illuminate a range of potential risks, impacts and threats. Maps can be produced at a project, country, regional or global scale.

Use Dashboards to find information

The Fossil Fuel Atlas includes a range of tools and dashboards to provide easy access to additional information and analysis. Featured tools include:

This dashboard illustrates technical potential for offshore wind capacity. Bar charts and counters are linked to the current map view. As you pan and zoom the map, they will update accordingly. Charts show gigawatts of capacity within the map view.

This dashboard illustrates the population of human settlements included in the oil and gas production and exploration blocks shown in the current map view. Population is broken down in data visualisations that provide information on the number of people living within each individual blocks in that map view.
 

New dashboards and other tools will be continously added to provide information and analysis linked to maps and other data visualisations produced on the Fossil Fuel Atlas.

Geostories

Geostories are a way of telling powerful stories by taking a reader through a sequence of maps, data visualisations and written commentary.

These can be developed and hosted on the Fossil Fuel Atlas, or they can be downloaded for use in other websites or communication materials.
