Abstract:
Global warming has been an international concern due to its impact to environment.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) has been a key measure of GHG (greenhouse gas) emission from
anthropogenic activities such as from industrial emission. International efforts has been
focused to reduce emission of these contributing gases. Indonesia as a developing country
has growing energy demand as other developing countries. While energy is a vital
requirement as part of development in Indonesia, at the same time this sector has been one
of major emitter of anthropogenic CO2 in Indonesia and an update on emission of CO2 in
this sector is needed. This paper analyze energy sector of power generation (electricity
generation) within period of 2000 to 2015 in Indonesia and the emission of CO2
associated. The result is presented in term of temporal profile of power production with
main focus on steam power plant type with various fuel consumed. It was found that within
15 years span under reviewed the focus of power generation is still heavily reliance on non
renewable based fuel especially coal with average % increase within the period around 7
%. Associated emission was analyzed using emission factor method and the opportunity for
reduction with biofixation was identified and discussed. The result of this review is a
useful support for a baseline of economic valuation of CO2 biofixation using Chlorella
pyrenoidosa later on.
