  1. PORTUGAL Álvaro Martins CEEETA ISEG - Technical University of Lisbon (Member of the technical team in charge of the National Program for Climate Change)

  2. 1. INTRODUCTION • On May 2000 the Portuguese Government has defined the main guidelines to prepare the National Program on Climate Change (NPCC). • Under the leadership of the Environment Institute (Environment Ministry) a technical team was created having as main objective the elaboration of the National Program on Climate Change till the end of 2002.

  3. 2. National Program for Climate Change - METHODOLOGY • Using as baseline an energy simulation demand model, projections of the main GHG emitted by the energy sector for the period 2000-2015 have been prepared; • ii) A first document has been published on December 2001 as a basis for public discussion; • A set of Policies and Measures have been proposed as a basis for discussion with the economic agents and with the public services responsible for sector policies; • iii) A new version of the NPCC will be prepared till the end of 2002, after a more complete assessment of the GHG emissions, of the policies, measures and instruments to fulfil the Portuguese targets from the burden share agreement.

  4. 3. GHG PROJECTIONS – Scenarios methodology • Social, economic and technological scenarios have been extensively used in the past for energy planning purposes. • A very complete exercise of long term scenario building has been carried out in Portugal in 1994/1995, which is still a reference. • In 1999 one of the scenarios published in 1995 has been retained and improved in order to be considered as a basis for energy modelling. This scenario has been considered for the first version of the NPCC. • The long term scenarios are not defined on a regular basis.

  8. 5. MODELLING • Besides de economic models used in scenario building, an energy simulation model is used to analyse energy final demand and estimate the emissions of GHG. • For the centralized electricity supply we rely and criticise the results published by the National Grid obtained from optimisation models of the electric sector. • A methodology for optimal policy design and estimation of shadow prices is not yet available.

  9. 5. MODELLING • The main driving variables for energy consumption are: • - population, income and specific energy consumptions (technology), for the residential sector, • - value added for the productive sectors, • - mobility, infrastructure development, specific consumptions, for the transport sector, • - hypothesis on technology, energy price system and behaviour are also part of the scenarios.

  10. 6. PRELIMINARY RESULTS A “base line” or “business as usual” scenario is defined. As “base line” we consider a scenario where policies, measures and instruments embodied do not take into account the Kyoto targets for Portugal. It includes P&M already in operation in May 2001. These projections, produced in 1999, will be updated during 2002. +46% (a) including carbon sinks.

  11. 7. POLICIES AND MEASURES • The following policies and measures have been proposed for public discussion. • They are classified as: • Immediate P&M • Those P&M recently approved or being studied but not considered in the base line scenario; • Additional P&M • New P&M necessary to fulfil the Portuguese emission targets.
