Carbon footprint of electricity generation in Brazil: An analysis of the 2016–2026 period
The present paper aims to evaluate the past and future environmental performance of the
electricity generation in Brazil in terms of Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Global
Temperature Potential (GTP). To that end, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tool was used to
evaluate the system's environmental performance, based on ISO 14040 and ISO 14044,
using the Ecoinvent v 3.3 database. This study provides data on global warming by the GWP
and GTP 100 years impact category. The functional unit and reference flow is kWh. The …
