Córdoba took a key step by presenting its first Provincial Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory — a tool that makes it possible to measure emissions by sector, model scenarios to 2050, and define mitigation targets for 2030. The assessment shows that the largest contributions come from agriculture and livestock, transport, and stationary energy, with relevant shares from waste and land use and forestry (FOLU). Industrial processes (IPPU) represent only a marginal portion of total emissions. This type of inventory serves as the baseline for designing effective public policies and prioritizing investments where they can generate the greatest impact.
Building on this foundation, the province is already implementing concrete instruments: national leadership in distributed generation (34% market share); the incorporation of biofuels in the public fleet (E17 and B20, with 2,185 vehicles adapted); the first fueling station offering pure blends (over 500 refills and 11,000 liters sold within just a few months); and pilot carbon credit initiatives compensating between 5,000 and 10,000 tCO₂e per year. Additionally, public procurement processes now award points to companies that measure or offset their carbon footprint, driving more sustainable projects and purchasing practices.
