Assessment of Carbon Foot Print: A Case Study of SVNIT Campus
The carbon footprint is one of the main methods used to quantify the anthropogenic impact on the environment and to help combat the threat to climatic change. If carbon footprint analysis is being done for the first time, it is curtained to be stuck by wide range of definitions, approaches, and terminology of neighborhood. This study quantified the carbon emission from different sources and carbon absorption by vegetation cover inside the SVNIT campus. The estimation of total carbon sequestration by vegetation cover of SVNIT was around 392 to 400-ton CO2/year. The total carbon emission by indirect source (electricity) was estimated from 2953.58 to 2506.71 tons of CO2/year, and from direct sources was 474–520 tons of CO2/year. The green belt, in the campus, is absorbing 76.92 to 84.63% CO2 emission annually. In the present paper, an attempt was made to provide an introductory guide on some preliminary concepts of carbon footprint for researchers and interested ones in this area. Each step is presented for calculating the carbon footprint, and an introduction to the main methodologies is presented. An approximate framework of procedures for calculating carbon footprint on different topics is also presented.
