This research project evaluates the total costs and benefits of energy policies and future energy systems in Portugal, specifically focusing on estimating the CO2 marginal abatement costs. The implementation of the TIMES_PT model and its main assumptions are discussed, as well as the comparison of CO2 abatement in different scenarios.

TIMES_PT - main assumptions Calibration assumptions • Max CHP penetration in industry – up to 50% of ind. electricity consumed in 2030 • Max natural gas penetration of 85% • Inertia factors in residential and commercial sectors • Limits on electricity imports (+255% than 2000) and exports (+121% than 2000)
