    1) The document discusses Portugal's per capita primary energy consumption from 1984-2004, showing that it has remained well below the global average. 2) It also shows data on the relationship between energy demand and GDP per capita from 1980-2002, with Portugal consuming less energy than comparable economies. 3) The final sections outline observations about the need for involvement from all sectors in developing sustainable energy solutions and a joint strategy between MIT and Portugal to collaborate in targeted areas of research, education, and entrepreneurship around energy.

    Observations

    • A Role for All —


    Industry, Government, Academia
    • A Strong Link to Education at
    All Levels

    D.H. Marks – MIT Laboratory for Energy and the Environment November 17, 2006 pg. 5

    Our Joint Strategy

    • Pick the right niches


    • Build our knowledge and partners
    • Translate to research, education,
    innovation and entrepreneurial
    stimulation
    • Make Portugal a “go to” center for
    this knowledge for Europe and
    the world.
