Carbon Footprint Analysis in UNNES Sekaran Campus Environment as Energy Conservation Data
Abstract
The UNNES Sekaran Campus is the center of UNNES academic and non-academic activities, with the number of academicians increasing yearly. That will impact increasing activities and carbon footprints from academic and non-academic activities that use electricity, LPG, or fuel. Only now are two faculties at the UNNES Sekaran Campus whose carbon footprints have been studied using the IPCC and tier 1 methods. This study will analyze the carbon footprint of energy use in each faculty using the IPCC method with tiers 1 and 2. This study will also develop strategies to conserve energy at the UNNES Sekaran Campus. In this study, GHG emissions using the IPCC tier 1 and 2 methods were 1853,742 tons of CO2 equivalent and 1697.86 tons of CO2 equivalent, respectively. Energy conservation strategies that can be implemented at the UNNES Sekaran Campus include collaborating with relevant stakeholders, optimizing clean energy production, improving the technical capabilities of the academic community in green technology, conducting energy audits on each activity unit and building, and developing an independent electricity system.
