Infographic: Greenhouse gas emissions inside homes
For the first time, residential emissions from cooking have been quantified in three Latin American countries (Chile, Colombia and Brazil), providing key data for updating national emissions inventories and meeting Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC)...

Paola Valencia, Head of Climate Action and Circular Economy at EBP Chile, spoke to DNews about the energy transformation in Latin America. A study reveals high levels of carbon dioxide and methane emissions, as well as gases harmful to health such as carbon monoxide. The initiative seeks to review the emission factors in national inventories to promote regulatory changes that ensure a reliable electricity supply, essential for an effective energy transition in the region.
“Renewable energy is the cheapest way to generate energy globally”: Marcelo Mena, former environment minister of Chile
The United Nations Conference on Climate Change COP29 was held in Baku, Azerbaijan, where Marcelo Mena, CEO of Global Methane Hub, participated in this international meeting and had the opportunity to be interviewed by NTN24. In this interview, find out the details of the research initiated within the framework of our project “Energy Transformation at the Residential Level”, an initiative of Global Methane Hub, on the impact of greenhouse gases on homes in Chile, Colombia and Brazil.
Energy Transition from Our Homes
In the context of residential energy transformation, energy efficiency and the adoption of renewable energy stand out as fundamental pillars. In this Cooperativa Ciencia feature, discover how EBP Chile and the Global Methane Hub are leading energy decentralization and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, with a particular focus on sustainable solutions for households
Impact of Methane
We invite you to watch a CNN Chile report on “The Impact of Methane,” featuring Nicola Borregaard, General Manager of our partner EBP Chile, along with other experts. In this special edition of #futuro360, we explore the critical importance of methane in the fight against climate change. Discover how methane emissions are impacting the planet and the innovative strategies shaping our future. Learn about the role of major emitters, the significance of the energy sector, and the cleaner alternatives that could make a difference in this urgent race against time.
Gas Leaks, Artificial Intelligence, and Ocean Plastic
In this new episode of Futuro 360, we explore the most prominent topics in science and the environment. We exclusively present the first findings on methane emissions from Chilean stoves and their environmental impact. Additionally, we interview AI expert Ricardo Baeza-Yates to discuss its rapid advancement. We also address the issue of ocean plastic with Cristóbal Correa, Campaign Director at Oceana Chile. Finally, Macarena Morales discusses the differences between good and bad fats in “Science in You”.
