Estimation of Carbon Footprint Pattern at Nile University of Nigeria, Abuja.

Ibrahim Audu Ville.


Abstract
ABSTRACT
This research estimates the amount and pattern of Greenhouse Gas emissions in Nile University of Nigeria, Abuja. Footprint from onsite energy production, transport, gardening and cooking fuels were calculated as major emission sources in university campuses using IPCC’s guideline for assessment and reporting GHG. The calculated annual GHGs emission of the university was 5,466.3964tCO2e. Emission due to transportation was 71%, while 24.7%, 2.7% and 0.8% of the university emissions were from onsite energy generation, cooking fuel and gardening respectively. It was established the university’s per capita GHG emissions is lesser than what is suggested by the Kyoto Protocol. Notwithstanding, it can further be reduced by using electricity and lpg more efficiently, provision and incentivizing the use of mass transits.

Key words: Key words: Carbon footprint; Emission Sources; Greenhouse Gases.
