  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Location of structures resulting from the submarine fluids emissions, such as: mud volcanoes (methane hydrates); Pockmaks (methane) and hydrothermal vents (fluids enriched in salts and metallic elements), located between the Mid-Atlantic Rift zone (Azores archipelago) and the continental margin.
