Carbon footprint analysis for Sunway University campus

Carbon footprint can be quantified from the emission of carbon dioxide gas (CO2) through human activities, whereby it has impacted the environment. Burning of crude oil as a main source of fuel for combustion to provide energy for transportation and electricity production, releases various Greenhous...

Hence, a study was conducted at Sunway University to calculate its carbon emission from electricity consumption and transportation usage by campus dwellers (Sunwayians) whereby CO2 equivalent (CO2eq) computations were performed on monthly electricity consumption for the year 2018 till 2019 and the number of vehicles parked within the campus.
