%X The main objective of this paper was to establish an inventory of the Federal University of Tocantins¡¯Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) emissions derived from controlled sources and administrative activities conducted in 2009 by the Rectory and the University Campus of Palmas, in order to calculate the number of Savanna¡¯s native trees to be planted in the region of the county of Palmas-TO to neutralize GHG emissions reported in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). Utilizing the Specifications of the Brazilian Program GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Protocol for this purpose associated with the calculus methodologies of GHG emissions published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for the completion of the inventory, as well as using the Good Practice Guide for Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) published by the IPCC forneutralization of CO2e calculus. The inventory result showed that the listed units emitted around 218tCO2e and for its neutralization, it would be necessary to plant approximately 1.702 trees for sequestering all CO2e over a period of 20 years. The methodologies used for the composition of the GHG inventory came up as excellent tools for determining the emission profile. Despite the uncertainties about the carbon fixation rate, it can be used to calculate the neutralization of GHG as a way of environmental mitigation.
