Study of the emissions of greenhouse gases produced by the packages of the hydroelectric power stations of Peru. Tecnia [online]. 2021, vol.31, n.2, pp.1-10.  Epub June 01, 2021.

The hydroelectric generation process is essentially composed of three stages that are the water reservoir, the transformation of hydraulic energy to electrical energy and the delivery of electrical energy for distribution. In the reservoir stage, the quantification of greenhouse gas emissions was carried out using the methodology proposed by the United Nations Organization, called the 2006 Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change in ten Peruvian hydroelectric plants. It was concluded that, in the first phase of hydroelectric generation, which is that of the reservoir, the total significant contamination of carbon dioxide, CO2, reached 83947 tons per year and the results were compared by comparing data obtained from Brazilian hydroelectric reservoirs.
