Summary
Portugal's opportunities for fuel switching, conservation, renewable resources development, and the potential for application of new or advanced technologies (particularly synthetic fuels and nuclear power) were evaluated. All of these factors were evaluated under varying conditions, including different economic growth projections or scenarios, changes in the import price of energy, and variations in the capital and operating costs of new energy technologies. Although some possible government policies, such as delaying or promoting the use of nuclear power and renewables, were evaluated and are discussed herein, other policy initiatives such as price controls or subsidies were not. An important assumption in this analysis was that there would be no significant discoveries of fossil fuels, primarily oil and gas, which would materially alter Portugal's energy supply situation. The goals of this cooperative activity were to provide the Portuguese planners with some preliminary information on the available energy alternatives, and to provide the tools necessary for continuing the planning process, on a more refined and complete level, in Portugal. Both of these goals were accomplished. None of the analyses should be interpreted as recommendations for energy development; nor should the study itself be interpreted as a national energy plan for Portugal. In addition to this summary, a list of participants, an organization of the complete report, and a table of energy conversion factors presented as Appendices A, B and C, respectively. 30 figures, 13 tables.
