Inventário e proposta de gerenciamento de gases de efeito estufa (GEE) na UTFPR: estudo de caso do Câmpus Campo Mourão

Abstract

This study aimed to establish an inventory of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) from UTFPR, Campus Campo Mourão, derived from controlled sources and administrative activities generated in 2012, trying to propose possible ways to manage and neutralize GHG emissions the Campus. This study contributes to a better understanding of the greenhouse effect, which is a natural, but anthropogenic actions end up accelerating this process. For this was a survey of data from the Federal Technological University of Paraná and bibliographic data. We used the GHG Protocol calculation tool. The results were that the Campus had a generation of 945.82 tCO2e, and the sector that contributed to the generation was stationary combustion with 92.414%, then the sources were from the purchase of electricity with 3,988% and effluent (wastewater) generated 0.021%. The proposed neutralization gave up through planting trees and buying carbon credits. In the case of tree planting would require the planting of 7,441 trees that occupy an area of approximately 4.46 ha, it is noteworthy that the study year was atypical because it was the purchase of asphalt which contributed significantly to emissions.
