Low carbon development of science and techno park (STP) pollung in North Sumatera Province

Abstract

The development of Science and Techno Park (STP) is one of the government’s efforts to increase competitiveness in the science and technology sectors as well as to improve the regional and national economy. Relevant to this, the government has planned the development of the herbal and horticultural sectors known as the Science and Techno Park of Herbal and Horticultural (STPH2). It is located in Pollung, North Sumatera Province, specifically in the Forest for Specific Purpose (KHDTK). In line with the government’s program to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the planning of the STP development has used the principle of Low Carbon Development (LCD) as it will bring many benefits from reducing carbon emissions which also supports sustainable regional development programs. This research was carried out by reviewing the STPH2 planning documents, such as the master plan and Detailed Engineering Design (DED), which was followed by identifying components that could reduce carbon emissions and absorb carbon emissions. The results of these findings are then compared with references. The conclusion shows that the planned components, such as building design, land cover, and water and waste management systems have followed the LCD principle.

“…Another strategy that might be done in parallel with reducing greenhouse gas emissions is to use the principle of Low Carbon Development (LCD) for the physical development of the industry. Planning items such as building design, land cover, and water and waste management systems have implemented the principles of LCD [35].…”
