Abstract
El objetivo de esta investigación consistió en analizar a la Municipalidad de San Carlos, con la finalidad de elaborar un inventario base de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) para posteriormente cuantificar la huella de carbono corporativa (HC) e implementar medidas de mitigación de emisiones GEI a partir de los resultados obtenidos de las fuentes de emisión y alcances. Estas emisiones se estimaron para la totalidad del año 2020 en función de una herramienta de cálculo en línea perteneciente al Programa HuellaChile del Ministerio del Medio Ambiente.
Para llevar a cabo la medición de huella de carbono se determinaron los límites organizacionales y operacionales de la institución, con el propósito de delimitar el área de investigación y categorizar las fuentes de emisión de GEI en emisiones directas (Alcance 1) y emisiones indirectas (Alcance 2 y 3). En este sentido, el cálculo total de emisiones de GEI fue de 250,08 toneladas de carbono equivalente, los cuales deberán disminuir en una próxima medición de HC, a través de la aplicación de un plan de mitigación que integre una gestión ambiental y económica a nivel municipal.
The objective of this research was to analyze the Municipality of San Carlos, in order to prepare a base inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to subsequently quantify the corporate carbon footprint (HC) and implement mitigation measures of GHG emissions from the results obtained from the emission sources and scopes. These emissions were estimated for the entire year 2020 based on an online calculation tool belonging to the HuellaChile Program of the Ministry of the Environment. To carry out the carbon footprint measurement, the organizational and operational limits of the institution were determined, with the purpose of delimiting the research area and categorizing the GHG emission sources into direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions (Scope 2 and 3). In this sense, the total calculation of GHG emissions was 250,08 tons of carbon equivalent, which should decrease in a next measurement of HC, through the application of a mitigation plan that integrates an environmental and economic management to municipal level.
