| Summary: | 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. |
