Environmentally Friendly Energy-Based Park for Carbon-Neutral at Universitas Pertamina

Abstract

In line with Universitas Pertamina's vision of a green livable campus, parks are an important point in its implementation. The purpose of this study was to design a carbonneutral park with combination of chosen alternative energy source installation and vegetation that has been proven to absorb CO2. Method of this research is quantitativedescriptive comparing three energy sources include solar energy, methane energy, and waste heat energy. Through the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method, the chosen energy source is solar energy which are superior in terms of land requirements, investment costs, reduction in electricity consumption and CO2 emission, and ease of construction. Installing solar panels in the park can reduce CO2 as much as 67334.5 MT CO2/year with additional CO2 reduction from vegetation, namely golden photos, snake plant, Syzygium myrtifolium, and garden croton (228 ppm/day, 318,207 kgCO2/year, 42,624 KgCO2/year, 125m/day).
