Resumen
La presente investigación tuvo como finalidad calcular la Huella de Carbono en la Facultad de Ciencias Naturales de la Universidad de Guayaquil del año 2022 en el periodo correspondido de enero a diciembre, basado en los lineamientos establecidos por el GHG Protocol. Las directrices permitieron identificar las fuentes de gases de emisiones de efecto invernadero directas e indirectas y clasificarlas en base a los 3 alcances establecidos en esta metodología y así poder estimar la cantidad de toneladas de dióxido de carbono equivalente (tCO2eq) emitidas dentro de los límites organizacionales fijados, el cual se consideraron las siguientes instalaciones: edificio de Ingeniería Geológica y Ambiental, edificio de Biología y el edificio de administración. Como resultado se obtuvo que, la institución de educación superior generó un total de 173,87 tCO2eq, la cual se derivó mayormente del alcance 3 que involucra el transporte de colaboradores y adquisición de bienes (90,63 tCO2eq), seguido del alcance 2 a causa del consumo de energía (79,24 tCO2eq), y finalmente del alcance 1 relacionado con la fuga de gases fluorados en aires acondicionados (3,99 tCO2eq). Dichas cantidades permitieron identificar las fuentes con mayor significancia de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y así proponer medidas para su reducción para los siguientes periodos.
The purpose of this research was to calculate the Carbon Footprint of the Faculty of Natural Sciences of the University of Guayaquil for the year 2022 based on the guidelines established by the GHG Protocol for the period from January to December. The guidelines allowed us to identify the sources of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions and classify them based on the 3 scopes established in this tool and thus estimate the amount of tons of carbon dioxide (t CO2eq) emitted within the organizational boundaries determined, which considered the Geological and Environmental Engineering building, the Biology building and the administration building. As a result, the institution generated a total of 173,87 tCO2eq, which was mostly derived from Scope 3, which involves the transportation of collaborators and acquisition of goods (90.63 tCO2eq), followed by Scope 2 due to energy consumption (79.24 tCO2eq), and finally Scope 1 related to the leakage of fluorinated gases in air conditioners (3.99 tCO2eq). The results allowed us to identify the most significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions and thus propose measures for their reduction for the following periods.
