Provincial Carbon Footprint Analsis: The Case Of Çankırı

Unofficial AI-generated summary based on the public title and abstract. Not an official translation.

🔬研究者:Offers a straightforward methodology for regional carbon footprint calculation that can be replicated or compared.

🏢実務担当者:Local governments and sustainability teams can use this approach for their own emission baselines and reduction planning.

🏛政策担当者:Provides evidence for targeted emission reduction policies at the provincial level, particularly for diesel, electricity, and livestock sectors.

With increasing population and developing industry, terms such as "climate change," "carbon gas," and "carbon footprint" have entered our lives and are of environmental importance. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the carbon footprint sources of the city under study and to evaluate the measures that can be taken to create fewer emissions. Carbon emission sources were evaluated in 3 main groups: Direct emission sources, indirect emission sources from energy, and other indirect emission sources. The carbon footprint of Çankırı province is 1.320.034,376 tCO₂e, and the per capita carbon footprint was calculated to be approximately 6,61 tCO₂. It was observed that the most influential factors in carbon emissions in Çankırı province are diesel fuel, electricity, natural gas, and livestock. With the increasing population and developing industry, it is an undeniable fact that carbon emissions will increase day by day, and the necessary measures must be taken as soon as possible. Carbon emission reduction can be achieved through actions undertaken by industrial sectors, public institutions and organizations, municipal authorities, and individuals. To reduce the carbon footprint and reach the net-zero emission target, it is fundamentally necessary to shift towards sources that can create fewer emissions.
