Analysis of Carbon Footprint and Impact of Global Warming Potential on Aspects of Transportation, Electricity and Water Use in Istiqlal Mosque

This research assesses the carbon footprint from transportation, electricity consumption, and water usage at Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta. The primary objectives are to quantify emissions, conduct impact analysis, and propose strategies for reducing the carbon footprint in these three aspects. The method employed involves calculating the carbon footprint using emission factors. The results indicate the carbon footprints as follows: 1,653.87 kg CO2/month for transportation, 183,670 kg CO2/month for electricity, and 2,710.60 kg CO2/month for water consumption. These emissions have the potential to contribute to global warming, resulting in estimated impacts of 610 kg CO2-eq/month for transportation, 242,000 kg CO2-eq/month for electricity, and 2,560 kg CO2-eq/month for water consumption. Proposed carbon footprint reduction measures include implementing Car-Free Day (CFD) initiatives, installing a 150-kilowatt-peak (KWP) solar panel system, incorporating water-saving features, and establishing a rainwater harvesting system. These recommendations can help Istiqlal Mosque reduce its carbon footprint and support environmental sustainability.
