Abstract
The climatic change also well-known as global heating it is one of the big challenges that the humanity faces. This investigation had as objective to estimate the balance of emission of gases with effect hothouse (GEI) in the coffees production in Tercer Frente municipality, Santiago de Cuba with base in the guidelines of the IPCC 2006. They were carried out interviews and documentation revision (bill of the electricity service, leaves of routes, work plans) to know the inputs used in the different agro-technique activities carried out in the production and the coffee processing. The questions carried out were directed to determine the consumption of: electric power, fossil fuels (gasoline and diesel), fertilizers (synthetic and organic) and plastic sacks for coffee container. Also, the emission factors were identified by internal fermentation. People’s approaches were achieved with experiences in the cultivation and processing. The print of the carbon (HC) de 0.18 kg CO2e/kg coffee cherry (cc) in Tercer Frente it is low in comparison to results reported by the bibliography in different countries. Total emissions average it ascended to 1.291.398,06 kg CO2e. During the cultivation of the coffee the biggest emissions in GEI are generated compared with the processing and the activity that more GEI emits in the productive chain of coffee in Tercer Frente it is the nitrogenous fertilization (55.8 % of the total of emissions of CO2).
