تأثير احتراق الوقود الأحفوري على مقدار البصمة الكربونية للمدينة : منطقة الكرادة الشرقية "حالة دراسية"

Abstract EN

The carbon footprint has a great impact on improving the city’s environment and preserving its sustainability, so its increase is an indication of deterioration due to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, the most important of which is carbon dioxide, which is produced from the combustion of hundreds or even billions of tons of fossil fuels using industrial facilities, power stations and various means of transportation.

As it is every year, nearly 20 billion tons of carbon dioxide is emitted, as well as methane, which is produced due to many human activities.

The study problem is summarized in determining the degree of the effect of fossil combustion on the carbon footprint in the Eastern Karrada region, identifying the causes that led to its increase, and developing solutions and proposals to address the imbalance and thus improve the region.

The research found an increase in emissions resulting from fuel combustion, as a result of agricultural areas in the region and their conversion to other uses, such as converting them to residential, educational, commercial, industrial or industrial uses.

The increase in the population and the increase in the number of private cars, which in turn caused heavy traffic congestion, in addition to the absence of sustainable public transport, the increase in private transportation, in addition to the complete dependence on energy resulting from burning fossil fuels (petroleum and its derivatives and natural coal) to obtain energy and not use energy Renewable.
