Description
El calentamiento global ha llevado a muchas entidades a buscar formas de reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. La cuantificación de estas emisiones constituye un requisito básico para establecer el impacto ambiental que las actividades humanas generan y proceder a implementar prácticas para disminuir la emisión de estos gases a la atmosfera, con el propósito de mitigar el cambio climático. En este artículo se presenta la estimación de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero CO2 y CH4 generadas durante las actividades de transporte de gas natural en Colombia. Estas emisiones se estimaron basadas en la metodología propuesta por el Panel Intergubernamental del Cambio Climático –IPCC, la cual es actualmente, la metodología más utilizada en la estimación de emisiones en la industria. Además, se determinan las fuentes potenciales de emisiones para la red de transporte de gas natural del país y se presentan algunas mejoras que se pueden implementar para disminuir estas emisiones.
The global warming has motivated many organizations to find different ways to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. Quantification of these emissions plays a key role in order to determine the environmental impact that human activities generate. Moreover, they are relevant to develop good practices to diminish the levels of these gases in the atmosphere, thereby mitigating climate change. In this work an estimate of the greenhouse gases CO2 and CH4 emissions produced in the natural gas transport in Colombia is carried out. The redictions are based on the IPCC-Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change- methodology, which is nowadays one of the most applied in different industries. Moreover, potential emissions sources in the natural gas transport network in this country are determined. Finally, conclusions are presented, and some improvements that can be implemented to reduce these emissions are outlined.
