This case study examines the potential of green mortgages in Portugal to address energy inefficiency in housing and combat energy poverty. These financial products incentivize homeowners to invest in energy-efficient homes through favorable terms, aligning with sustainability goals and offering economic benefits such as reduced energy costs and increased property value. With a significant portion of Portuguese homes lacking energy efficiency, green mortgages offer a promising solution to reduce CO2 emissions, improve quality of life, and promote sustainable economic growth.
