FLORES-VELAZQUEZ, R.; MUNOZ LEDO-CARRANZA, R.  y  VILLALBA-VALLE, D.. Greenhouse Gases Emissions Inventory in 2005 by the Mexican Energy Sector. Ing. invest. y tecnol. [online]. 2010, vol.11, n.1, pp.35-43. ISSN 2594-0732.

In the present work, it is estimated the greenhouse gases (GHG, GEI in this paper) emissions in 2005 by the consumption and/or transformation of energy in Mexico. This document is not official, and it is used as reference the fuel consumption reported in the Balance Nacional de Energia 2005 published by the Secretaria de Energia. In this way, it is standardized the emission sources that will be used in the near future to estimated the official 2005 GHG Emissions Inventory. In order to solve the absence of own emission factors in Mexico, it is used the default global emission factors proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change. The Sectorial Method was used to estimate the GHG emissions taking in account the fuel consumption in each subsector considered in the energy sector. It was found that the transport and energy industries sectors had the most GHG emissions, and that Mexico as a non-industrialized country had lower per capita emissions that developed countries.

Palabras llave : Greenhouse gases; Kyoto protocol; emission inventory; fuel consumption.
