RESULTS AND BENEFITS

BENEFITS

� Improve the

Knowledge about

the GHG emissions

and trends;

� Identify the main

emissions areas;

� Also set a reliable

“Start Point” for

planning new

policies and actions

for NDC goals;

� Fossil CO2 emissions are about 8% higher than

estimated by the prior inventory.

� Uncertainty of fossil emissions were reduced

from 40% to 20%

� More Stations

� 1 of High Precision (for calibration)

� 5 of Medium Precision

(monitoring)

� Dozens of low cost sensors

(Identify the sources)

� Inventory expansion, update and

improvement for both CO2 and CH4.

EXPECTED RESULTS

� Considering the State Law nº 15.725 / 2016, execute the air quality

monitoring, associated with the GHG emissions;

� Analyse the interaction of Air Quality and GHG emission between

urban areas and nearby protected areas of biodiversity;

� Identify with a better resolution the main emissions sources;

� Propose and apply a public policy during the project;

� Measure the impact of this public policy applied;

� Simulate scenarios of projections based on the results of the policy

applied

AIR MONITORING PROJECT FORESEEN FOR 2019

BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT FOR CPRH

� Reliable data after the improvement by measurement and analysis;

� Fullfil the responsability to monitor the air quality, considering the

current law;

� Monitoring will also improve both GHG and pollutant inventories at the

same time;

� Reliable dimension of the public policy impact applied;

� Promote a better vision and a consistant strategy in the state, to

implement actions for the NDC goals.
