Green House Gas (GHG) emissions are the major contributors to extreme climate such as global
warming and severe heat waves as well. To provide the remedial measures for these hazardous emissions the
first step is to track the sources of these emissions and to find out the cost analysis confined to those sources.
As the study explains within the restrictions of lack of access to all the sources, the time factor as well as the
due to security reasons whole amount of data could not be gathered. The study encompasses the observance of
monthly GHG emissions through the National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) transport
facility including the students, faculty, and staff transport along with the transport required for industrial visits.
As a result, a massive influx of GHG emissions was found because of the daily and occasionally transport
services. The most appropriate alternative to cut off the emissions is to increase electric vehicles as well as
switch towards conscious practices to significantly reduce the emissions. There are many universities in the
capital of Pakistan if this approach could be implemented in maximizing numbers a phenomenal cost and
health-efficient environment can be promoted.
