- Abstract
Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the measures taken in since March 2020 have led to outcomes that directly or indirectly affect the environment worldwide. Based on this point of view, greenhouse gas emission changes due to natural gas consumption and road transportation during the COVID-19 pandemic were analyzed in Samsun province. Emissions of greenhouse gases for CO2, CH4 and N2O were calculated using the Tier approach, a methodology adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to results, the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions released due to natural gas and road transportation during the pandemic decreased by 17.3 Gg compared to the previous year. When the findings are examined in terms of carbon footprint, 8.1552 Gg equivalent CO2 emissions from natural gas consumption and 9.1412 Gg equivalent CO2 emissions from road transportation were not released into the atmosphere during the pandemic period. In conclusion, the restrictions on mobility due to the COVID-19 epidemic have reduced the amount of greenhouse gas emissions by causing a decrease in the total amount of fuel resulting from heating and road transport.
