Carbon emission estimation model and correlation with green open space in Jember City Area

Abstract

The increase in population and motor vehicles fueled by oil (BBM) resulted in increased Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG), especially Carbon gas emissions. Besides the increase in gas is also derived from household waste. The amount of carbon emissions in an area depends on the number of vehicles operating such as main roads, residential ro ads, roads that are planted with green plants and terminals. One that can reduce carbon dioxide gas is greening, by planting plants that can absorb a lot of carbon emissions. Greening can be done by planting green plants or vegetation on highways and housing. The existence of Green Open Space (RTH) will result in the assimilation of carbon by vegetation which will reduce the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. The research objective is to measure the concentration of carbon emissions from motor vehicles, modeling the relationship between carbon emissions and the number of motor vehicles and knowing the need for green space in Jember Regency for CO2 absorption for 5 years. Research by field survey, primary and secondary data by calculating the type and number of vehicles that pass, as well as green space in the City of Jember. The results show carbon dioxide emissions in the Penjaitan Road for four days amounting to 3450.6 kg / year or 2875.5 kg / year / km. The required green open space on Panjaitan road is 0.006 Ha / year or 0.005 Ha / year / km. Cassia Plant 0.54 Trees / km, or Cananga plant 3.8 Trees / km.
