LNEG opens geology and energy datasets through new open-format digital platform

Portugal's national laboratory for energy and geology, LNEG, has launched a digital platform inside its geoPortal that publishes high-value datasets on the country's geological and energy resources. The data come in open formats and use the OGC API standard, so other applications and services can read and reuse them directly. The tool is aimed at researchers, companies, public bodies and citizens, and can inform research, land-use planning and decisions on natural resources and the energy transition. It was built under the DataIntel project, funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), as part of LNEG's push to modernise its digital services and support a more open national data ecosystem.
