Overview
By 2030, the Portuguese government intends to increase the participation of renewable resources in the heating and cooling sectors to 38% (NECP). For this sector, the government’s primary focus is on improving heating and cooling solutions via incorporating low-carbon materials and renewable resources into the process (NECP). These solutions are supported through subsidies and a tax regulation.
