As a result, Scope 1 emissions were identified as the highest in the industry, representing more than 89% of total emissions in CO2eq. This scenario is mainly identified a result of the Brazilian energy matrix configuration, which contributes to reduce Scope 2 emissions. The used methodology (GHG Protocol v. 2018.1.4) proved to be appropriate for calculating emissions within a broader report (annual amount). However, in order to develop an indicator for the organization, with monthly detailed data, it was necessary to adapt the tool, which is the differential of this work. 2023 artículo científico 0187-6236 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56582679012 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/565/56582679012/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/565/56582679012/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/565/56582679012/56582679012.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/565/56582679012/movil 10.20937/ATM.52940 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=565 Atmósfera application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Atmósfera (México) Num.1 Vol.36
