PNAC 2020 - Programa Nacional para as Alterações Climáticas [National Program for Climate Change]

ENAR - National Strategy for air pollution 2020

Financed by: Portuguese Environment Agency of the Ministry of Environment Spatial Planning and Energy

Date:2013-2014

The National Strategy for air pollution 2020 defined the framework for the improvement of air quality on behalf of the protection of human health, quality of life and preservation of ecosystems. The project was structured in three axis: "Evaluate", "anticipate" and "Acting". Projections embodied in this study developed prospective future scenarios of atmospheric emissions and ambient air quality. The project included the estimation of the following pollutants: SOx, NOx, NMVOC, NH3, PM2.5 and PM10 for the horizon year 2020, in Portugal, for the different sectors of economic activity.

Low Carbon RoadMap: Portugal 2050 - Energy and Waste Greenhouse emissions

Financed by: Comité Executivo da Comissão para as Alterações Climáticas (CECAC) [Executive Committee of the Climate Change Commission]. 

Date:2011-2012

This project outlined how the transition to a low carbon economy in Portugal can be achieved, focusing on changes in the national energy system and evaluating its economic impact. The energy-economic model TIMES_PT is used to outline a -60% and -70% GHG decarbonization pathways (face to 1990) in line with the EU low carbon roadmap.

New Energy Technologies: RoadMap Portugal 2050 – Analysis of new national energy technologies e impact scenarios on the national energy system

Financed by: Portuguese Innovation Fund for Renewable Energy of the Portuguese Ministry of Economy (FAI). 

Date: 2010

The project aimed to develop an Energy Technology RoadMap for Portugal up to 2050. Among other objectives it performed an analysis of new national energy technologies e impact scenarios on the national energy system, focusing on endogenous resources and performing a competitiveness assessment.

Financed by: REN - Redes Energéticas Nacionais, SGPS, SA.

Date: 2008-2009

Development of bottom-up end-use energy and materials demand scenarios for Portugal for 2030 with the ultimate objective of generating demand scenarios for electricity and natural gas. The TIMES_PT and the LEAP models were used.

Date: 2003-2004

Technical support on bilateral meetings between the Portuguese Government and IIASA (in name of the European Commission) on projections of acidifying emissions, under the revision process of EU Directive 2001/81/EC.

Financed by: Portuguese Environment Agency.

Date: 2002-2004

Development of the Programme on National Emission Ceilings (SO2, NOx, VOCs, NH3) established by the EU Directive 2001/81/EC, and of the 2004 Portuguese Climate Change Programme in cooperation with CEEETA.

Financed by: Ministry of Environment. 

Date: 2001-2003
