Reducing Our CO2 Footprint


Fuels and Resources

This survey based database explores peoples understanding of the energy-development-climate challenge, estimates their carbon footprint, and showcases their efforts to reduce their environmental footprint by increasing efficiency and developing renewable resources.


By collecting and providing information at all scales, and from resources to generation to transmission to end-use, we hope to highlight the system as it is, what needs to be done to transform it, and what is being done.



Useful Tools


Welcome to Global Energy Observatory (GEO)

A one-stop site for energy information


Our Vision

A world with cheap and clean energy for the global population


Our Mission

To provide easy to use and scientifically validated databases and analyses of global energy systems


Our Strategy

Global Energy Observatory (GEO) is a collection of interactive databases that map (collect, collate and geo-reference), monitor and model the extremely complex and dynamical energy infrastructures and resources. By providing data, models and analysis tools as an open but moderated Wiki we aim to engage the public and the experts. Through these Open Models and Databases our goal is to promote an understanding, on a global scale, of the dynamics of change in energy systems, quantify emissions and their impacts, and accelerate the transition to carbon-neutral, environmentally benign energy systems while providing affordable energy to all.
