Estrategia de descarbonización basada en el diagnostico técnico del transporte terrestre en G4S Colombia

Abstract

This study presents a technical assessment of the terrestrial transport system of G4S Colombia, aimed at formulating a decarbonization strategy. The methodology included fleet and energy consumption characterization, carbon footprint calculation under the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, and the design of emission reduction strategies. For the 2024 baseline year, the carbon footprint was estimated at 1,651.17 tCO₂e, with 85.3% from direct emissions related to fossil fuel consumption and 14.7% from indirect emissions associated with electricity use. Bogotá, Barranquilla, and Medellín accounted for the highest emission levels. Based on these results, a strategy focused on fleet replacement, route optimization, preventive maintenance, and eco-driving was proposed, with an estimated 11% reduction in transport-related emissions by 2030. The study concludes that transport decarbonization can improve operational efficiency and enhance corporate sustainability.
