New Greenhouse Gas simulation and mapping tools to support local carbon neutral...
Amorim, Filipa; Simoes, Sofia; Barbosa, Juliana; Oliveira, Paula; Trindade, Paula; Aelenei, Laura Elena; Catarino, Justina; Viana, SusanaABSTRACT: The aim of this work is to develop three innovative decision support tools: (1) a scenario tool that enables users to interactively design scenarios of activity variables that support decarbonisation trajectories on a local scale; (2) a mitigation tool that translates scenarios into greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, taking into account the identification and prioritisation of the most innovative, cost-e...
Sustainable public procurement: a contribution to achieving low carbon footprin...
Duarte, Ana Paula; Farto, Ana; Trindade, PaulaABSTRACT: LIFE ReNatural NZEB project and is part of action B3 of the project "Demonstration experiences of NZEB with low carbon footprint". The article intends to present the results obtained in the development of the model, for which two surveys were sent to several construction companies and material supplying companies. These surveys aimed at knowing the market's ability to comply with the sustainability cr...
Economia de recursos e comunidades de energia
Sousa Rocha, Cristina; Trindade, Paula; Simoes, SofiaRESUMO: A eletricidade renovável é imprescindível para melhorar a qualidade do ar, para a descarbonização e o combate às alterações climáticas - um dos maiores desafios com que a Humanidade se defronta. Neste quadro, as comunidades de energia têm um papel fundamental a desempenhar, contribuíndo para a instalação e consumo eficientes de energia (renovável).

Enhancing Market Readiness for nZEB Implementation
Aelenei, Laura Elena; Croitoru, C.; Korczak, K.; Petran, H.; O'Rourke-Potocki, H.; Tzanev, D.; Goncalves, Helder; Duarte, Ana Paula; Trindade, PaulaABSTRACT: Despite transposing the 2010/31/EU Directive's requirements creates legal responsibilities at the national level, the nearly Zero energy building (nZEB) principle does not appear to be widely adopted just yet in many nations. Previous studies have shown that the most significant barriers include determining the cost-effective ideal integration of the technologies appropriate for nZEB and the skills co...
European policies on Circular Economy and Climate Mitigation: synergies or anta...
Trindade, Paula; Barbosa, Juliana; Amorim, Filipa; Simoes, Sofia; Lima, Ana TeresaABSTRACT: The main objective of this paper is to review policy goals, measures and instruments across the following policy areas: climate, energy; environment (including CE) and industry. This review's objective is twofold: (1) to assess and characterise synergies and antagonisms among policy domains regarding CE and climate mitigation, and (2) to identify innovative and effective policy approaches for integrat...
O potencial estratégico das compras públicas
Trindade, PaulaRESUMO: Na Europa, e durante décadas, as políticas ambientais focaram-se no lado da oferta (produção), enquanto as políticas orientadas para a procura (consumo) foram em grande parte subestimadas. Atualmente, é amplamente reconhecido o potencial de utilização da contratação pública como instrumento estratégico que pode contribuir para objetivos ambientais, sociais, de inovação ou desenvolvimento local.
Robust relation between public procurement for innovation and economic development
Bento, Nuno; Sousa, Cristina; Trindade, Paula; Mamede, Ricardo Paes; Fontes, Margarida; Alves, TiagoABSTRACT: We found a solid and robust relationship between the share of public procurement for innovation (PPI) in public procurement and GDP per capita for 30 European countries. The share of PPI is highly associated with determinants from ‘‘demand pull’’ as well as ‘‘supply push’’. These findings open new opportunities for the study of the drivers of public procurement for innovation. The study also provides ...
