The building sector is fourth, with 5% of emissions. The fifth and sixth positions are occupied by the private energy and agriculture sectors, with percentages of 3% and 1%, respectively.

Climate Transparency states that CO2 emissions from fuel combustion are the biggest driver of overall greenhouse gas emissions.

The research team explains that CO2 emissions in Indonesia have increased since 1990, but saw a decrease in 2020—most likely due to measures in response to Covid-19.

"However, they increased again in 2021 with the economic recovery. The electricity sector is the largest contributor to CO2 emissions," wrote the Climate Transparency research team in their *Climate Transparency Report 2022*.
