International Journal of Global Warming (IJGW), Vol. 33, No. 3, 2024

Abstract: This research aims to estimate the carbon footprint of road transport in Aksaray, Turkey. The study used the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change tier 1 and tier 2 methodologies and found alarming increases in CO₂ emissions from benzene and diesel, indicating a significant environmental impact. The results also highlight the need for ongoing monitoring and regulation of benzene and LPG emissions due to methodological differences. However, diesel emissions showed consistent assessment approaches between tier 1 and tier 2 methodologies. These findings provide valuable insights into the region's evolving carbon footprint, emphasising the need for precise methodologies for effective environmental management.
