To get the required information, information requests were sent to key actors in the district and then a poll was applied to the residential, commercial and industrial sector.

The results are the following: in 2016 were emitted 83618.27 ton CO2e, in 2017 were emitted 79053.66 ton CO2e, the greatest contribution is represented by the fossil fuels used in the fishing activity and the transport. En el 2018 el MINAE (Ministerio de Ambiente y Energía de Costa Rica) oficializó el PPCN 2.0, en respuesta a la Estrategia Nacional de Cambio Climático. En el distrito central de Puntarenas, la UTN lidera los esfuerzos para la elaboración de los Inventario de gases de efecto invernadero. Para ello se siguió la metodología descrita en el PPCN 2.0; se calcularon las emisiones del transporte y la energía estacionaria (consumo de combustibles fósiles y electricidad), residuos sólidos y aguas residuales. Para obtener la información requerida, se emitieron solicitudes de información a actores claves del distrito y se aplicó una encuesta al sector residencial y al sector comercial e industrial. Se utilizaron además los factores de emisión y potenciales de calentamiento global del IMN. Finalmente, se obtuvieron emisiones de 83618,27 ton CO2e para el año 2016 y 79053,66 ton CO2e para el año 2017, donde el mayor aporte es representado por el consumo de combustibles fósiles en la actividad pesquera y el transporte. 2020-05-28 2020-09-25T23:12:24Z 2020-09-25T23:12:24Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/4333 10.18845/tm.v33i2.4333 https://hdl.handle.net/2238/11930 spa https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_marcha/article/view/4333/4843 Derechos de autor 2020 Revista Tecnología en Marcha application/pdf Editorial Tecnológica de Costa Rica (entidad editora) Tecnología en marcha Journal; 2020: Vol. 33 Núm. 2: Abril-Junio 2020; Pág. 67-78 Revista Tecnología en Marcha; 2020: Vol. 33 Núm. 2: Abril-Junio 2020; Pág. 67-78 2215-3241 0379-3982
