For 2009, the CO 2 emissions from the use of the different commercial energy
sources 22 , climbed to 26,9 million tons, where the use of liquid hydrocarbons
generated the highest quantity of emissions representing 87 % of the total. In
order to determine these emissions it has been used the technologies method of
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that he is based on the
emissions calculation by contaminant, according to the request variables: Energy
source and energetic activity used in the process. (MEM, 2009a). See Graphic Nº
