Carbon Footprint Review in Higher Learning Environment towards Campus Sustainability

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The greenhouse gas emissions on the campus are directly or indirectly caused by activities or accumulated over the life stages of the product or services, expressed by Carbon Dioxide. The six leading gases that contribute to the carbon emissions in the atmosphere are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF). This paper aims to identify methods for evaluating the carbon footprint on the campus and its database and creates a theoretical framework for a sustainable campus in the local context of the higher learning environment of Malaysia.
