Determinación de la huella de carbono en la Universidad Distrital sede Bosa Porvenir vigencia de 2022-2023

Abstract

The central purpose of this degree project is to analyze and estimate the carbon footprint of the Francisco José de Caldas University at its headquarters in Bosa (Porvenir) during the period 2022-2023. To achieve this objective, a set of crucial actions has been developed, with a particular emphasis on the identification of the main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These sources of emissions cover areas such as energy consumption, fuel use, waste management (including both usable and non-usable waste), as well as the use of paper in the university environment. During the research process, the data collected was compared with the previous results obtained in similar projects carried out at the nursery headquarters of the District University. The findings revealed a significant increase in carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions relative to the 2016 nursery carbon footprint assessment.
