Natural Gas in Bolivia: Risks and Opportunities
Carlos Feu Alvim e José Israel Vargas

Carbon Balance: The Top-Down and Bottom-Up Emissions Accounting Methodologies
Carlos Feu Alvim,  Frida Eidelman  e  Omar Campos Ferreira

The Economy and Energy Organization has carried out together with the Ministry of Science and Technology a study on the carbon balance of energy use and transformation. The publication of its results has been made through the e&e periodical in its 48 and 50 issues. In the present issue we are publishing the results corresponding to the extended Top-Down accounting process and those corresponding to the use of the coefficients calculated for the Brazilian inventory from 1990 to 1994, using the Bottom-Up process, to estimate the emissions from 1970 to 2002. By comparing the two results it is possible to evaluate their deficiencies and the possible  incoherence in the use of the two methodologies.
