Abstract
Emission of carbons in the atmosphere is generated as products of the combustion of fossil fuels from automobiles or the burning of solid fossil fuels. Carbon emission is majorly produced as a product of combustion in the transport cycle and stationary combustion of fossil fuels from automobiles like the Generator sets. Inadequate power supply and epileptic power supply from the public electric power supply, gen-sets become the main source of power supply in Nkwo international market in Nnewi , Anambra State. The international market has motor cycle spare parts market, the motor spare parts market, building material market, the general market which comprises pharmaceuticals, clothes, food items etc .population samples of stores were done, number of the store with Gen set were noted, then using ‘bottom up’ method the : quantity of carbon released and attributed to fuel combustion by the two stroke engine ‘I pass my neighbor’ using gasoline was calculated ,the total estimate of the carbon release in the atmosphere is estimated base on eight working hours. The power estimation is also done to ascertained to suggest the about of solar energy required to power the market for carbon zero emission free atmosphere.
