The Geothermal Atlas of Mainland Portugal is a mission-driven project of fundamental importance for the geothermal knowledge of the country, systematically carried out at the National Laboratory of Energy and Geology (LNEG) for over 30 years. It was created following other mapping projects, incorporating diverse information from various data sources obtained for different purposes, from different institutions, and harmonized and processed in a way that allows it to be applied to information, dissemination, training, promotion, and research on geoenergy in mainland Portugal, thus serving as a lever for the sector's development. It constitutes a dynamic and constantly updated research effort, integrating various parameters from diverse origins applicable to geoenergy studies. Its integrated and homogenized processing allows for a visualization of the country's geothermal characteristics on a national scale and can be used to determine geothermal potential at various scales. As sources of information for the production of geothermal mapping of mainland Portugal, processed and directed towards the various types of geothermal energy and geothermal exploitation, the first works began more than 40 years ago, forming the basis of Portuguese contributions to successive European Atlases of Geothermal Resources, the last of which was published in paper in 2002 with updates published in 2025 in the European Geological Data Infrastructure. This information is constantly complemented by additional geothermal information, whose original acquisition was made for geothermal purposes, and also by information acquired for other geoscientific objectives. The incorporation of information is done according to established criteria.

Maps of geological formations and storage units with CO2 storage potential in mainland Portugal and its respective continental shelf. The maps were obtained from geological studies, mechanical drilling data, and reflection seismic data. These maps and database are an update from the COMET, CO2STOP, and HYSTORIES projects, carried out in the framework of the CSA-GSEU project, namely WP3 Geoenergy and Tematic Working Group CO2 and H2 Storage. An age correction of the potential storage units was performed.

This work was carried out by the GTAER - Working Group for the Definition of Renewable Energy Acceleration Areas, created by Order no. 11912/2023 of 23 November, and is intended to consolidate and strengthen the previous work carried out to identify the areas with the least sensitivity for the location of renewable electricity production units (solar photovoltaic and wind). The work presented here assessed the potential for implementing these units in natural areas or territories. The process of identifying PRAAs, took into account 5 different scenarios, depending on whether or not the following constraints were excluded: (i) areas relating to aquifers classified as porous or essentially porous, belonging to the western edge and the Tejo-Sado basin; (ii) areas relating to the distance between residential and mixed-use built-up areas and (iii) available RAN (National Agricultural Reserve) and REN (National Ecological Reserve) areas. The areas presented contribute to the definition of future preferential RAAs areas - they do not constitute the formal definition of the RAAs. In future RAAs, the licensing process will be simplified. It should be noted that these areas are not exclusive, and renewable energy units can be implemented in the rest of the territory in accordance with the normal licensing process. The results presented reflect the situation as of February/March 2024.

This map was developed to integrate the 2nd version of the PNS - Portuguese Natural Stones - Portal. It contains points, which correspond to the geographic coordinates (central) of the quarrying site(s) where the natural stones included in PNS Portal are quarried. Selecting each point on the map allows access to a table, which includes: - stone code on the PNS Portal; - main commercial names; - stone type; - petrological family; - geographic coordinates (EPSG 4326); - link to the stone’s Technical Sheet, on the PNS Portal.
