The power sector in Portugal emitted 207 grams of carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour (gCO2/KWh) of electricity generated in 2020. This sector's carbon intensity is expected to drop considerably in the coming decades. Projections show that in 2050, Portugal's power sector will emit roughly 40 gCO2/KWh. In this same year, CO2 emissions produced by Portugal's power sector are forecast to total 2.8 million metric tons.
