Abstract

An inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the Petroleum Company of Trinidad (PETROTRIN), covering a ten-year period (1990-1999), is undertaken. PETROTRIN is a state-controlled energy company, and as part of its corporate responsibility with regards to environmental preservation and sustainability, it has undertaken an inventory of its emissions and removals. Furthermore, such an inventory provides useful and tangible information insofar as potential Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects are concerned. The Revised IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories are used to undertake the calculations of emissions and removals for five sectors, namely energy, industrial processes, agriculture, land use change
