Özet
This study determined the energy-induced carbon footprint arising from
energy consumption in Batman University. It is important for universities to
do acts toward control the greenhouse gas emission based on energy
consumption while performing activities. Therefore, there is need to know
the components of carbon footprint. Electric energy, natural gas energy, and
various oils as the energy consumption components in these institutions were
scrutinized. Petrol, diesel fuel, and fuel oil were utilized as types of oil. It is
seen that the component which considerably specifies the carbon footprint is
3.161.238 ton CO2 value and electric energy. Natural gas and fuel oil use
contribute to carbon footprint at high ratios in winter months especially
arising from heating. 361 ton CO2 based on natural gas use and 1.256.445
ton CO2 based on fuel oil use are other components which specify the carbon
footprint. As a result, the primary carbon footprint for Batman University
was determined by IPCC Methodology and Tier 1 approach; it is
3.162.855,445 ton CO2 for 2017
