Abstract


Kupang city is situated in a strategic geographic location flanked by the countries of East Timor and Australia, rendering the city to possess potential prospects in regards to the economy and prosperity of the community. As a follow-up to the sustainable development goals agenda, the local authority is to oversee global collaboration to achieve sustainability of urban, energy and natural resources. This study aims to provide an integrated model between greenhouse gas emissions reduction due to urban activities and the sustainable energy under the SDGs agenda as a case study in Kupang city. The results show share of household mix electricity consumption under GHG constraint as 0%~20% coming from renewable energy which increased rapidly on 14%~18% while the electricity supply increased dramatically between 27.67%~28.73% of the total percentage compared to the electricity generated from diesel. On a certain level of the total of electricity consumed and its greenhouse gases emissions constraint compared to total electricity coming from diesel the ratio is getting raise. Therefore, the optimal constraints at 14%~18% give the most significant allocation of resources energy supplied from the renewable energy system, while the greenhouse gases emissions which decreased dramatically are 874.1 tCO2e~833.4 tCO2e with a balanced distribution of added value for each sector. This study supports not only zero emissions and sustainable city but also provides a reference inventory of greenhouse gases emissions refers to regional action plan-greenhouse gases emission reduction.
