Using the IPCC Formula to Calculate CO2 Emissions from Everyday Motorized Vehicles as the Baseline for Climate Change Mitigation Policies

Abstract

Climate change has attracted the attentions of every nation on earth, including Indonesia. Indonesia’s commitment to minimize greenhouse gas emissions through the ratification of the Kyoto decree in Law no. 17 / 2004. Other regulations for the National Action Plan for Reducing Carbon dioxide are regulated in Presidential Regulation No. 61/2011 and No. 7/2021 for the National Greenhouse Gas Inventory. The East Java provincial government adopted this policy through East Java’s Province Regulation No. 67/2012. This article predicted an increase in carbon dioxide from the daily vehicles. The study will be done in Jember, a third city in East Java Province. Data is calculated using IPCC formula. The secondary data from 2018 to 2020 was analyzed, as well as predictions for 2030. The number of motorized vehicles growth is 4.5% each year. CO2 emissions from the daily transportation sector will reach 3,846,049.49 tons in 2030. Motorcycles contribute 2,055,244.87 tons. CO2 gas emissions from the 8 main streets of the Jember Gold Triangle are 62,190.52 tons.
