Abstract

Residential area is one of the contributors in the increase of CO2 emissions. Padang, a big city in Indonesia with a large population within it is potential contributor of CO2 emissions. Unfortunately, there was no database collected of CO2 emissions from this activity. The CO2 emissions from domestic activities are divided into two i.e primary and secondary CO2 emissions, known by the term ‘carbon footprint’. The primary CO2 emissions are resulted from domestic energy consumption, while the secondary CO2 emissions are resulted from household electricity consumption. Questionnaire of sampling was conducted to get the CO2 emissions data. The number of samples was obtained based on the equation of Slovin were distributed evenly at Padang City. The CO2 emissions were calculated based on Puslitbangkim 2002. The calculations showed 92.327,59 ton CO2/year of primary CO2 emissions and 317.287,2 ton CO2/year of total secondary CO2 emissions. While the total CO2 emissions reaching up to 409.614,79 ton CO2/year. Based on the calculations the highest number of emissions were in the District Koto Tangah. While the highest number of secondary CO2 emissions were conducted in the Indarung area.
