Within the current regulations, there are some rules that allow carrying out principles and strategies in the development of environmental management. The 14040 and 14044 standards refer to the "ACV life cycle analysis" methodology, which supports environmental management, as it is based on the importance of environmental protection and the possible impacts associated with products, both manufactured and consumed. In order to understand the scenarios in which this regulation can be applied, this phase of the course invites you to review a scientific article hosted in the Science Direct database (ELSEVIER), which presents a study where the ACV method is applied, when evaluating the energy consumption and GEI emissions, of projects of the Chinese energy distribution system, taking as a case study "the ACV of beer".

Rescuing the concepts given in the recommended regulations and the article consulted, an online mural is made, where each member of the activity expresses their point of view regarding the subject of study. In order to strengthen the internationalization of the program and in order to promote bilingualism, the interactions of the forum and the mural are in English.

Given the above considerations, a general position is expressed on the subject of study, when defining environmental management, as a tool for reducing the impact generated to the environment. Alterations in nature are caused every moment, with each substance, food or product consumed, causing resources to decrease as a result of hyper-consumerism, which today are quite evident. To think about a viable future, it is important to be aware of the proper use of resources, optimizing and / or recycling them if possible.  (Aporte Luz Karime)

apoya la gestión ambiental, al estar fundamentada en la importancia de la protección ambiental y los posibles impactos asociados con los productos, tanto manufactureros como consumidos. Con el desarrollo de ésta metodología formulada en las normas de gestión ambiental 14040 y 14044, se pueden obtener los siguientes alcances

identificación de oportunidades para mejorar el desempeño ambiental de productos en las distintas etapas de su ciclo de vida

aportación de información a quienes toman decisiones en la industria, organizaciones gubernamentales o no gubernamentales

selección de los indicadores de desempeño ambiental pertinentes , incluyendo técnicas de medición

marketing, implementación de un esquema de etiquetado ambiental, elaborando una reivindicación ambiental. (Aporte Luz Karime)

1. Identification of opportunities to improve the environmental performance of products at different stages of their life cycle.

2. The contribution of information to decision makers in the industry, such as strategic planning, priority setting, design and redesign of products or processes.

3. The selection of relevant environmental performance indicators.

4. Marketing, which can be done in an environmental labeling scheme, preparing an environmental claim or an environmental declaration of the product.

The study consisted in the application of the ACV method, when evaluating the energy consumption and GEI emissions, of projects of the Chinese energy distribution system, taking as a case study "the ACV of beer".

The study is based on a literary review, which identifies the different energy distribution systems, which seek to meet the demand for heat, cold and electricity. Subsequently, the ACV method is used to evaluate the efficiency of each of the systems identified and their impacts on the environment.

The results found indicate that natural gas is the best option compared to carbon, as an energy source, since natural gas reflected energy savings of 8% and 38% impact reduction on GHG, although alternative energy sources did not yield significant results, the authors indicate that they are potential options that can be exploited in the near future, as they are more studied and developed with innovation technology.

·         Acquisition of raw materials: extraction of raw materials and environmental contributions of energy.

·         Process and manufacturing: convert raw materials and energy into the desired product.

·         Distribution and transportation: Transfer of the final product to the customer. Use, reuse and maintenance: finished product throughout its life in Service.

·         Recycling: begins once the product has fulfilled its initial function and is consequently recycled through the same product system.

·         Waste management Begins once the product has fulfilled its function and is returned to the environment as waste

With respect to the article "Analysis of the life cycle of energy consumption of projects of the distributed energy system and the emission of GHG: a case of auxiliary energy supply of the brewery in China", shows us that the use of energy Conventional issues more emissions and we must think about the use of renewable energy in the industry of our country.

Talking today about alternative methods to fossil fuels for energy is an increasingly common issue. The global concern for issues such as global warming, natural disasters, the depletion of the planet's resources, the environmental crisis and food production and diseases related to air pollution have generated an urgent need to invest in development of options that impact the environment to a lesser extent and allow man to keep moving forward.

Solar, hydraulic, wind or those from biomass and biofuels, are some of the renewable energies that help preserve the environment.

Advantages of renewable energy.

- Help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, helping to curb global warming. Clean energy is considered more environmentally friendly than conventional energy.

- Reduce energy production costs, create new jobs and reduce dependence on large energy powers and countries with fossil fuel reserves (oil, coal and natural gas).

- They produce energy indefinitely, when they are obtained from inexhaustible and unlimited sources of energy.

El declive del planeta es un hecho, es por eso que los países como China se han centrado en encontrar soluciones óptimas que ayuden a controlar el daño ambiental por el hombre, en este caso, controlar las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y el consumo de energía, por lo que una de las alternativas es Desarrollar proyectos de energía renovable que han sido alternativas y probados, aunque los resultados no son los esperados, en el futuro se espera un desarrollo potencial. Colombia tiene proyectos de energía renovable, pero aún no están bien bien afectados para contribuir al cambio climático, por eso debemos promover este tipo de proyectos porque es un beneficio mutuo, es decir, ayudamos al medio ambiente y nos ayudamos mutuamente.

First, it is defined by the acronym ACV and is defined as ISO 14040: Technique to determine the environmental aspects and the potential potential impacts associated with a product, taking into account the inputs and outputs of the system.

The evaluation of the life cycle (LCA) is a tool that allows us to know what the environmental impact generated by a product is, by the process and even by the activity that is carried out throughout the product's life cycle, knowing This may be to put measures to avoid the impact or correct it.

• Achieve recognition of concepts that are highly relevant in the application of environmental management principles and strategies, strengthen the foundations, which will serve as the basis for the training of future environmental engineers.

• Identify the standards that support environmental management such as ISO 14040 and 14044, allows describing the principles and frame of reference, as well as the requirements and guidelines, for the analysis of the life cycle (ACV) of a product. (Aporte Luz Karime)
