This study established a carbon sequestration database of campus trees using basic data observed on campus trees. After analyzing changes in the power generation of campus solar panels and electricity consumption, the total carbon sequestration of the KGHS campus trees was preliminarily estimated to be 934,797 kg.
Campus solar power generation is higher in summer than in winter, with a solar self-sufficiency rate reaching over 30%, thus achieving a appropriate carbon reduction. However, campus solar power generation is affected not only by seasonal variations but also by weather factors such as cloud cover and dust levels.
In the future, we hope to use a self-made, simple experimental device to capture carbon dioxide, and make some contributions to the issue of campus carbon reduction.
