- Abstract
Sidoarjo urban area is an area with different type of activities, such as settlement, trade, services, government, and also public service such as schools and hospitals. Different type of activities generate high levels of transportation activity resulting in high level of CO2 emissions. The purpose of this research is to determine the appropriate solution for CO2 emission reduction from transportation activity. Emission reduction was calculated as a result of different between transportation-borne-CO2 generation and emission absorption. Absorptive capacity analysis was conducted to calculate the current amount of emissions absorbed by plants. Calculation result showed that CO2 emissions at weekday is higher than at weekend which is 3,256.15 tons and 2,962.01 tons respectively, while the absorption ability of plant in current green space is approximately only 3.8 kg per hour. With this result the solution is needed to reduce CO2 emissions from transportation activity. Referring to the result from the above analysis, two strategies were defined, i.e. adding the area of green space and shifting the fuel consumption from diesel and gasoline to biodiesel and bioethanol respectively. Meanwhile, gas is used to substitute gasoline consumption in public transportation. Required area and type of green spaces was defined and calculated to find out the expected absorption capacity. The amount of emission reduction increased as shifting final energy consumption from transportation sector was applied.
