Urban areas receive high energy demand & consumption due to
developed infrastructure, which in turn leads to high Green House
Gas (GHG) emission. This GHG emission should be measurable for
identification of high emitting source, as well as application of
mitigation & management practices to control the air pollution.
Carbon footprint is the tool, which provides measurement of GHG
emission from target object, organization, city or country.Carbon
footprinting at finer level gives more specific identification to
the GHG emitting source. It also provides better opportunity for
application of mitigation & management practices. This work is
focused on carbon footprinting at finer level of a metropolitan
city- Bangalore in India. The work is carried out to compute GHG
emission from basic infrastructure needs i.e. Electricity &
Transport from collected primary data. This book gives the idea
that how our basic needs are the source of GHG emission causing air
pollution. Carbon footprinting of other GHG emitting sectors like
Industries, Waste etc. can be done. As these are also related to
our day to day life. Further research work can be done in this
direction
