Emission indicators, assessment, mitigation of CO2 emissions, renewable energy projects.Abstract
The paper presents a discussion about the indicators defined by the UNFCCC and suitable for application in power generation projects in Latin America. Emphasis on the possible use of indicators is done to encourage the use of renewable generation technologies and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, in projects that are in operational phase. Additionally, a new indicator (The Social Cost of Carbon-SCC) different from those defined by the UNFCCC is presented. Finally, the discussion focuses on the application of indicators in the Colombian case and how the correct assesment of CO2 emissions allow greater penetration of renewable technologies such as wind generation.Downloads
