Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories Across Industrial Sectors in an Emerging Mekong Delta City
摘要
This study quantifies the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2019 for the industrial sectors of Can Tho City, Vietnam. Employing a bottom-up methodology, we estimated both direct and indirect GHG emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) resulting from fuel combustion. Data on source-specific fuel consumption was collected for individual industrial facilities, with emission factors adopted from international and regional guidelines. The result showed that in 2019, GHG emissions from industrial sources in the four districts of Cai Rang, Binh Thuy, O Mon, and Thot Not were approximately 16,788; 2,371,936; 2,870,543; and 14,965 tons of CO2eq, respectively. The major contributions of GHG emissions were from the combustion of coal, firewood, rice husk, diesel oil, and fuel oil in the textile industry, paper, ink, food processing, beverages, tobacco, and construction materials. The research findings provide critical updates on the GHG emission inventory of Can Tho City and inform policymakers about targeting emission reduction measures.
