DETERMINING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF TRANSPORTATION; THE CASE OF AFYONKARAHİSAR, TÜRKİYE

Abstract

The increase in greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere is shown as the most important cause of climate change. Climate change will pose a great threat to the environment and human health in the future. In this study, the carbon footprint of the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the consumption of fossil fuels, which have a significant effect on global warming, between the years 2017-2021 in Afyonkarahisar, Türkiye was calculated. The Tier 1 approach recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was used in the calculation. Greenhouse gas emissions were obtained by calculating the emissions from CO2, CH4, and N2O gases separately and adding them after they were converted to CO2 equivalent. It has been determined that the highest carbon emission is caused by diesel fuel consumption, followed by LPG and benzine vehicles, respectively. The amount of carbon footprint, which was 1239.85 Gg in 2017, decreased to 1117.60 Gg in 2021. The last emission was realized in 2019 with 956.51 Gg. The amount of greenhouse gas emissions per capita was realized at the highest in 2017 at 173.2x10-5 Gg and at least in 2019 at 31.1x10-5 Gg.
