Resumen
The purpose of this research work is to carry out an analysis that allows selecting the carbon footprint measurement methodology in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The analysis developed in this document addresses in a general way the different methodologies and tools that have been used to quantify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, highlighting their main characteristics and focusing on those that, thanks to the bibliographic review and opinion of experts, have been identified as the most relevant to be implemented as tools for measuring GHG emissions in the ICT sector in Colombia.
The methodology developed contemplates the use of mathematical tools for multi-criteria decision-making, specifically those that refer to the application of the hierarchical analytical process (PAJ), through which it is possible to characterize in a very specific and functional way each one of the methodologies evaluated, in such a way that it is possible through direct comparisons to find the one that best satisfies the specific needs in terms of quantifying emissions in the ICT sector in Colombia. A sensitivity analysis carried out at the end, allows to confirm the robustness of the results, which takes special importance when arguing the reason for the selection made.
