Energy in Portugal
No. 89 JANUARY 2019
We often say that energy is everywhere, and that's true. But what do we really know about it and the effects of its development and transformation on the planetary ecosystem? In the first decade of the 21st century, the energy sector worldwide accounted for 47% of a 25% increase in greenhouse gas emissions. When the entire European Union depends on energy imports, we need to consider better and more responsible management of available resources and technologies nationwide. This essay proposes a trip through energy, uncovering certain concepts, figures and realities in an unconventional way, guided by an underground, almost invisible common thread, of topics and the association of scattered information. So that, as you turn the last page, you can see energy in light of the challenges of the current and urgent energy transition.
