Abstract

The use of fossil fuels in motorized vehicles to meet the needs of human movement, causes motorized vehicles become a producer of more than a quarter of the world’s carbon dioxide (CO₂) and a contributor to the formation of carbon gas emissions globally. Total population of Unesa campus consists of regular students and the total number of academic staff and administrative staff was 19,908 people who have the characteristic of choosing the mode of travel for campus residents to Unesa was using motorized vehicles. It was necessary to calculate the amount of CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O exhaust gas emissions produced by vehicles inside the Unesa campus.

Primary data from the observation of vehicle volume and distance of gate to the parking area were calculated with descriptive statistics. Statistical data was used to calculate the vehicle’s CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O emissions.

The total CO₂ emissions produced by vehicles were 137,383.9 tonsCO_2eq. The CO₂ emission ratio of the entire campus population was 6,901 metric tons per person, which was in the category > 2.05 metric tons. Based on the UI Green Metric assessment, the Unesa campus received an O rating. Unesa was expected to increase energy efficiency efforts on campus and care about energy sources and the surrounding environment more.
