Abstract

This article presents an analysis of indirect carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions generated by electricity consumption at the Instituto Tecnológico de Ciudad Juárez. Energy consumption data were collected of three service electrical connections on campus, corresponding to the years 2018 to 2022. By calculating reactive power and correcting the power factor, carbon emissions were estimated using the official emission factor of the National Electric System (0.423 tCO₂e/MWh). The results reveal that an adequate power factor correction allows for a significant reduction in indirect CO₂ emissions (greenhouse gases), contributing to the fulfillment of the objectives of the Paris Agreement and to institutional sustainable development.
