The Regional Dashboard lets you explore integrated water, energy, and hydrogen indicators at the regional level through interactive maps and charts. It provides a consolidated view of resource availability, renewable energy production, and hydrogen development for a selected region.
The Regional Dashboard includes the following components:
- Water Exploitation Index Plus (WEI+) [%] – yearly average. This index measures the percentage ratio between total water consumption for domestic, agricultural, and industrial uses to the available water resources.
- Aridity Index (AI) [-] – yearly average. This climate classification index measures the ratio of precipitation to potential evapotranspiration, indicating the degree of dryness of a region.
- Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI-12) [-] – monthly value. This index is based on 12-month cumulative precipitation and identifies long-term drought and water surplus conditions, normalized to local historical climatology.
- Renewable energy production [GWh/year] – yearly value. This indicator represents the electricity generation from hydropower, solar and wind.
- Hydrogen plants/production capacity [kt H₂/year] – This indicator shows the evolution of regional hydrogen production capacity over time, together with the number of new hydrogen plants becoming operational. Production capacity is reported as an aggregated yearly value, while new plants indicate additions to the regional hydrogen infrastructure.
Temporal time frames considered:
- current scenario, corresponding to the most recent period for which data are available from the selected sources.
- reference future scenario, corresponding to the SSP3-7.0 defined in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report. It represents a “regional rivalry” pathway characterized by fragmented governance, limited international cooperation, and slow technological diffusion. Emissions remain high throughout the century, making this scenario broadly consistent with a continuation of current policy trends and close to a business-as-usual trajectory.
- pessimistic future scenario, corresponding to the SSP5-8.5 defined in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report. It represents a fossil-fuel-driven development pathway with very high energy demand and minimal mitigation efforts, and is commonly used as a worst-case or high-end reference scenario to explore upper-bound climate risks.
