Structure Fire Gas Emissions
PúblicoContenido Descargable
open in viewerAs part of Costa Rica’s goal to reach carbon neutrality by 2021, all carbon emission sources must be inventoried. Each year there are about 1000 structure fires in Costa Rica. The Structure Fire Gas Emissions project calculates the carbon emissions from structure fires in Costa Rica. Four detailed models were created to calculate emissions from residential, hospital, warehouse and industrial buildings. A fifth model collects information in aggregate from the other models in order to provide a summary of total carbon emissions from structure fires across Costa Rica. Our sponsor SHP Ingenieria, in conjunction with the Benemérito Cuerpo de Bomberos de Costa Rica, and the Estado de Nación will use the models in order to monitor carbon emissions and make future policy recommendations.
