According to European Commission data, Indonesia's greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 reached 1,152 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2eq), approximately 2.2% of the global total.
Indonesia's greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 increased by 7% compared to 2021 (year-on-year), setting a new record high.
The greenhouse gas emissions recorded by the European Commission are a combination of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases (F gases).
This data only includes emissions from the electricity generation, transportation, energy combustion for industry, agriculture, fossil fuel exploitation (mining, production, and processing), industrial processes (such as cement production, metal processing, chemical products, etc.), energy combustion for non-industrial buildings, and waste sectors.
Greenhouse gas emissions from the forestry and land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF) sector are not included.
In terms of source, Indonesia's greenhouse gas emissions throughout 2022 originated mostly from fossil fuel exploitation (mining, production, and processing).
The following details the volume of Indonesia's greenhouse gas emissions in 2022 by sector, ordered from the largest contributor:
* Fossil fuel exploitation: 262.0 Mt CO2eq (contributing 22.7% to total national greenhouse gas emissions)
* Electricity generation: 256.9 Mt CO2eq (22.3%)
* Agriculture: 185.8 Mt CO2eq (16.1%)
* Transportation: 150.0 Mt CO2eq (13.0%)
* Energy combustion for industry: 143.3 Mt CO2eq (12.4%)
* Industrial processes: 68.6 Mt CO2eq (5.9%)
* Waste: 51.6 Mt CO2eq (4.5%)
* Energy combustion for non-industrial buildings: 34.5 Gt CO2e (3.0%)
