Greenhouse Gas (GHG), Energy ScenariosAbstract
In Bolivia there is a lag in the design of specific policies and climate mitigation, especially in the energy sector. In this manner, the paper presents an approach profile of GHG (greenhouse gas) in Bolivia, linked to the energy sector for the period 2007-2025. The methodology used corresponds to a Bottom-up model, characterized for a detail scope of the energy system; it analyzes the technical characteristics of the operation of the various types of existing power plants in the country. With this model was obtained projections of consumption of major sectors, such as electricity generation of the main sources of energy. Later, with the implementation of environmental load factors, the GHG emissions from energy sources were obtained. Consequently, the results are an approximation of both, the evolution of the energy matrix and its GHG emission profile.
