Fundo Ambiental
Published 5 November 2026, 06:07
Fundo Ambiental (Environmental Fund)
A state fund under the Ministry of the Environment that pays for environmental and energy programmes: help buying a gas bottle, replacing heating in low-income homes, discounts on electric cars, forest management work. The money is allocated through calls for applications and separate ministerial decisions, and amounts are moved between budget lines during the year.
Where you come across it. News about state help with energy and housing, the conditions of programmes such as E-Lar and Vale Eficiência.
The fund’s money is not unlimited: a programme lasts only as long as there is money left in its budget line, so towards the end of the year help sometimes runs out before the announced deadline.
