Analysis of The Need for Green Open Spaces in Reducing CO2 Carbon Dioxide Emissions in the Bahteramas Hospital Area of Southeast Sulawesi Province

Abstract

This study aims to determine CO₂ emissions resulting from transportation sources, residents, electricity and the ability   of green open spaces (RTH) to reduce CO₂ gas emissions in the Bahteramas Hospital Area. This research was conducted in December 2022-January 2023 at Bahteramas Baruga Hospital, Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi Province. The results showed that the highest CO₂ emission load was generated from the use of electricity with a total of 54,119 kg/day, then population emissions were 4,933 kg/day, while the lowest emission load was generated from CO₂ transportation emissions of 4,437 kg/day. The total emission generated in the Bahteramas Hospital Area is 63,489 kg /day. The ability   of green open space to reduce CO₂ emissions is 8,399 kg/day so that it still has residual CO₂ emissions that have not been able to be absorbed by the existing green open space of 55,090 kg/ day.
