Abstract
In the Manaus Free Zone, the photographic paper processing industry is poorly representative and classified as a Chemical Industry. This sector has environmental aspects throughout its production processes, including the processing of already emulsified photographic papers, transforming them into necessary sizes and formats for printing. This study investigated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in scopes 1 and 2 using the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program (PBGHGP) methodology. The analysis revealed that the main source of GHG emissions originates from the use of R410A refrigerant in the cooling system. The research highlights that proper management of these gases is feasible, as the industry has an environmental management system in place for this control.
