ABSTRACT
This paper presents the preliminary results of a greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory prepared for the campus of PUC-Rio, located in the district of Gávea, south zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro. GHG emissions have been identified in scope 1 (stationary and mobile combustion, fugitive emissions), scope 2 (electricity consumption) and scope 3 (transport, travel, generation and disposal of solid waste), according to the methodologies recommended by the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program. Among the sources of emissions, the main generator was the most difficult to quantify, and it was related to the commuting between the campus and the residences of estimated 20,000 people who frequented PUC-Rio daily in 2011.
