Coverage only of Itaipu’s operation in Brazil.
Gases considered in the calculation: CO2, CH4, N2O, SF6 E HFC-134. Methodology used: IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (2007). Considered variables: automotive fuel for its own
fleet, for vessels and equipment; sewer; cooling gas replacement in offices’ air conditioner, vehicles and powerhouse; LPG gas (cooking), natural gas (Curitiba office), recharge of
extinguishers (offices, industrial area and generating units).
Emissions conditioned to the emission factor of the National Interconnected System. 2015 and 2014 data are higher than 2013 due to the higher share of thermal plants in the
Brazilian energy matrix. Methodology used: GHG Protocol Brazil.
