Cálculo de Gases Efecto Invernadero en la Empresa Alfa Equipos Maldonado

Abstract

The measurement of the calculation of carbon footprint is based on the calculation of the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) issued by a person or organization in the development of products or services. The present work of degree develops in the calculation of GHGS in the company Alpha computers Maldonado in which develop metallurgical processes. For the measurement of the carbon footprint were classified in scope for each production data such as: •Scope1directemissions. •Scopo2indirect. • Scope 3 optional for that case solid waste and transport. (Protocol of greenhouse gases. 2005). As a result the total amount of emissions of greenhouse gases produced by the company in the period (2015-2016) of 2632,6976 ton CO2 valued at the three scopes: consumption of electrical energy with a 0.02 ton CO2, transport with a 0.03 ton CO2 relating to the consumption of fuels for the displacement of the company car, production of solid waste with 135192,23 ton CO2 referred by the activities in the company, emissions of gases by sewage treatment referred to by the consumption of water to meet the basic needs of the company with generation of 1,533 ton CO2. In a consistent manner to the calculation of GHGS, raises some strategies and mitigation plans in favor of the reduction of greenhouse gases generated by the company.
