  • Geological Map of Portugal at scale 1:50 000, consisting of sheets published at this scale in paper and/or digital format. Includes geological maps of the Madeira and Azores Archipelagos.

  • Geological map data of Spain and Portugal at 1:1 000 000 scale modified according to INSPIRE data specifications for the Geology theme. Layers depicting Geologic Units are classified according to ages and lithologies from INSPIRE vocabularies.

  • The marine energy potential maps for mainland Portugal consists of the mapping the main wind and wave parameters for the offshore environment at the height of 100m (offshore wind resource) and at surface (wave energy resource). The offshore wind resource is performed with a sophisticated mesoscale atmospheric model, capable of describing the main wind phenomenology near the Portuguese coast, and contains the mapping of the average wind speed [m/s], Wind Power Flux [W/m2] and the map of the annual number of hours at full capacity NEPS of a standard reference turbine as well as the NEPS maps [h/year] for specific type of bottom-fixed wind turbine systems - "Jacket" and "Monopile" or Floating – WindFloat. The offshore wind resource maps represent the climatology of the wind resource as well as characteristics of the wind phenomenology associated to the land-sea interaction along the Portuguese coast. Regarding the wave energy maps, the estimation of the wave energy resource is based in estimating the main sea-wave characteristics and the wave energy production for standard different wave system types – oscillation water column converter; floating two-body heaving converter bottom-fixed oscillating flap converter. The maps of the wave energy resource are a merging of observational data (boys) and information from the ONDATLAS database as well as data from numerical modeling with the MAR3G model all with 10 years of data . This way the wave energy resource maps describe the main characteristics of the average wave resource for a period of 10 years, which is representative of the sea state climatology of Portugal. All wave energy maps are expressed in [kW/m]. Also, all wind and wave energy resource maps are processed with a high spatial resolution of 1km x 1km from the coast up to the bathymetric of 300m. Some wind and wave energy maps are freely available to download in a course but larger grid area (5Km x 5Km). In time, the offshore wind maps will include higher heights.

  • Geology and Geomorphology of the portuguese offshore of the Pre-Quaternary, using as reference the Geological Chart of the Immersed Area, Scale 1: 2 000 000, of the Geological Chart of Portugal, Scale 1: 1 000 000. National Laboratory of Energy and Geology (LNEG) 2010 .

  • The Critical Raw Materials Deposits Map in Mainland Portugal is a compilation of the known mineral occurrences and deposits of the most critical raw materials according to the latest list published by the European Commission in 2023.

  • 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.

  • 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.
