Estimate of GHG Emissions - The Greenhouse Gases - A University Campus In Connection With the Electric Energy Consumption

Abstract

The impacts of the use of electricity to the environment, both by environmental impacts, as for energy policy issues or because it is finite resources is a topic of great importance today. The purpose of this paper is to establish the amount of GHG emissions - Greenhouse Gas, from electricity consumption on the campus of the University of São Paulo in the city of Pirassununga. This quantification is carried out from the results of electricity consumption and emission factor. Emissions related to energy consumption have been established and from this inventory, goals can be traced for future projects related to energy efficiency and consequent reduction of GHG emissions - Greenhouse Gases.

Uticaj električne enrgije na okolinu, kako zbog zaštite okoline, tako i zbog potrošnje energije iz neobnovljivih izvora je danas veoma važna tema. Cilj ovog rada je da odredi količinu GHG emisija – gasa staklene bašte, iz potrošene električne energije u kampusu Univerziteta São Paulo u gradu Pirassununga. Procena je izvedena iz rezultata potrošnje električne energije i faktora emisije. Procenjene emisije u odnosu napotrošnju energije mogu da posluže za buduće projekte iz oblasti energetske efikasnosti i smanjenja emisija – gasova staklene bašte.
