What is it an Study on Environmental Impact (SEI)
It`s a description and an analysis of environmental resources within the area of influence of the activity being studied, considering:
Environment
Physical Medium
Socioeconomic Medium
• Air quality (emissions)
• Noise
• Liquid Effluent
• Solid Waste
• Flora, Fauna and visual impact
• Employment generation
• Effect on commerce, industry and other services
• Effect on traffic
• Social Welfare and cultural heritage
• Safety

Carbon Footprint• What is it?
The Carbon footprint is " the total of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions directly or indirectly caused by an individual, organization, business, product or service."
Kyoto ProtocolIt is an international agreement, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that generate global warning.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG)
Carbon Dioxide equivalent (CO2e) of a gas measure
Carbon Dioxide CO2Methane CH4Oxide Nitrous N2OHydrofluorocarbon HFCPerfluorocarbon PFCSulphur hexafluoride SF6
