- Sustainable Production Programme in Setúbal Region (PROSSET) : preliminary results1Publication . Duarte, Ana Paula; Peneda, Maria Constança; Sousa Rocha, Cristina; Saraiva, C.; Catarino, Justina; Frazão, Rui; Marçal, M.; Trindade, Paula; Ventura, Fernando; Clerigo, C.; Fernandes, Rui; Lança, Ana; Lopes, R.; Maia, Anabela; Wijn, R. deABSTRACT: In this paper the PROSSET Programme is described briefly and the preliminary results are presented. The Programme includes cleaner production (CP) demonstration projects developed in 10 companies located in the Setúbal Region and the testing of methodologies to promote the sustainability of the Programme. Both the involvement of local agents and the training and/or awareness of workers and locals were considered necessary. The INETI/ITA team developed an action plan aimed at the effective involvement of local actors in the PROSSET Programme in addition to the in-company activities.
- Sustainable Production Programme in Setubal Region (PROSSET) : final resultsPublication . Duarte, Ana Paula; Ventura, Fernando; Sousa Rocha, Cristina; Catarino, Justina; Frazão, Rui; Maia, Anabela; Trindade, Paula; Lança, Ana; Peneda, Maria Constança; Fernandes, RuiABSTRACT: Between 1997 and 1999, a Sustainable Production Programme was developed in the Portuguese Setubal region. In this paper its final results are presented. The programme included cleaner production (CP) demonstration projects developed in 10 companies located in the region and the involvement of local stakeholders, aiming at stimulating the diffusion and application of sustainable development principles in the region. The CP projects allowed the team to generate environmental, economic and social benefits for the companies, and also to achieve improvements in the quality of the regional environment. The role of stakeholders is discussed, in terms of subsequent actions taken by them.
- New Greenhouse Gas simulation and mapping tools to support local carbon neutrality agendas: application to the city of AlmadaPublication . Amorim, Filipa; Simoes, Sofia; Barbosa, Juliana; Oliveira, Paula; Trindade, Paula; Aelenei, Laura Elena; Catarino, Justina; Viana, Susana; Figueiredo, LeonorABSTRACT: 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-effective mitigation options (technological and behavioural) for Portuguese municipalities; and (3) a mapping tool to identify GHG emissions ‘hot spots’ on a local scale. In the first phase, these tools are applied and tested for the case study of the city of Almada in support of the ‘Agenda for a Carbon Neutral Almada by 2050’. These tools will also contribute to the training and involvement of local stakeholders, to improve the design of local GHG emissions mitigation strategies and roadmap. In the second phase, these tools will be further developed so they can be used in other Portuguese municipalities.
