Inventários de gases de efeito estufa para o município de Maceió

Abstract

In Brazil, a country that contributes significantly to global warming, mainly due to the fires in the Amazon region, some initiatives of local governments in search of fun emissions are worth mentioning, for example, as cities of Rio de Janeiro, Belo Horizonte, São Paulo, Recife and Fortaleza, which have already prepared their inventories of GHG emissions. Therefore, the present work is an initiative that sought to inventory as emissions of greenhouse gases from the city of Maceió. In addition, it was part of the work and proposed measures of mitigation and neutralization of CO2 in order to reduce its concentration in the atmosphere. To carry out a study with data on fuel consumption, electricity and waste disposal in public agencies and concessionaires of public services. A methodology used in accounting for emissions as proposed by the IPCC 2006 and the GHG Protocol. The results obtained showed that GHG emissions increased 80% in a relatively short period of time (from 2009 to 2014). It became clear that the transport sector, in particular road transport, contributed with a larger share of emissions over the years, as a consequence of the increased use of fossil fuels, specifically diesel oil and gasoline, reflecting the increase in the fleet of vehicles Individuals. These two fuels account for more than 75% of the emissions from the transport sector. It is estimated that as CO2 mitigation and neutralization proposals presented in the study can, if implemented, decrease as emissions by up to 31%. As future projections have shown, if anything, as total GHG emissions from the municipality of Maceió tend to reach 3,072,636 tCO2e in 2020, 8,190,780 tCO2e in 2030 and 22,003,644 tCO2e in 2040.
