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 product was developed by LNEG with a view to the future identification of “Renewable Acceleration Areas” for the deployment of renewable electricity production plants in Mainland Portugal. The work took place within the scope of an informal Working Group, coordinated by LNEG and involving: the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA), the General Directorate of Energy and Geology (DGEG), the General Directorate of Territory (DGT), the Institute of Conservation of Nature and Forests (ICNF) and the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage (DGPC). The map identifies the areas in m2 of mainland Portugal with the least sensitivity (environmental, cultural heritage and other) which as such may be considered in the definition of future renewable "Acceleration Areas" within the framework of the revised RED Directive (Renewable Energy Directive. As these areas are not covered by exclusion conditions regarding the preservation of environmental and heritage values (among other), a simplified permitting process for renewable power production plants (solar photovoltaic and wind) could be established, thus allowing to accelerate its implementation without compromising other environmental and territorial values. The mapped areas are preferred areas from the point of view of simplifying the permitting process, but they are not exclusive. In other words, renewable power plants can be implemented in other locations following the normal permitting process. It should be noted that the presented results reflect the situation as of June 2023, and much of the information used is dynamic in nature, meaning this product must be periodically updated. This document is complemented with several electronic Geographic Information System (GIS) files containing the supporting data produced/compiled and collected. Last but not least, this first mapping focuses exclusively on non-artificialized areas. Although the implementation of renewables in a distributed manner in a built/artificialized environment is essential for the country, the analysis of this scope is carried out in another work.
