  • The CONVERT project aimed at identifying, in an objective and quantitative way, the different types of endogenous biomass that can be applied in the short-medium term to economically viable technological solutions for the production of power and heat, energy vectors, and especially advanced biofuels. These should comply with all the sustainability criteria set by the European Directives, in particular the Red II (2015/1513) Directive. This project included the following activities: Activity 1 - Energy potential of the organic fraction of solid urban waste; Activity 2 - Energy potential of biowaste produced under industrial context; Activity 3 - Potential of mainland Portugal for energy crops; Activity 4 - Conversion technologies and respective energy products; Activity 5 - Life Cycle Analysis and estimation of Sustainable Value and Activity 6 - Communication plan. As part of Activity 3, LNEG developed a spatial data infrastructure to facilitate the exchange and use of information between all the beneficiary agents in a first phase, with visualization and consultation via the web. These data are crucial for choosing locations for energy crops/microalgae and for selecting the species to cultivate, while also identifying critical or limiting locations for their utilisation.

  • Geological Map of the Algarve Region, scale 1:100 000, produced by the Geological Survey of Portugal in 1992, as part of systematic geological surveys of the Meso-Cenozoic coast of the Algarve.

  • The Geological Map of Portugal at a scale of 1:1 000 000, published by LNEG in 2010, constitutes the synthesis document of the current knowledge about the geology of mainland Portugal and all insular territory: the Azores and Madeira Archipelagos. This map includes for the first time the geology of the continental shelf around mainland Portugal, drawing on over 30 years of marine geological research. The map comprises: a Geological Map of Mainland Portugal, a Geological Map of the Continental Shelf, and separate geological maps for the Azores and Madeira archipelagos (all at a scale of 1:1 000 000). Additionally, it includes a Neotectonic Scheme of Mainland Portugal with Hypsometry at a scale of 1:4 000 000, a Tectono-Stratigraphic Scheme at 1:5 000 000, and a Location Map at 1:20 000 000.

  • 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.

  • Geological Map of Portugal, at scale 1:200 000, composed of the sheets published at this scale (Sheets: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8).
