Abstract
The use of vehicles in Yogyakarta City is quite a lot. Fuelcombustion in the vehicle produces some greenhouse gases emissions suchas Carbon Dioxide, Methane, and Nitrogen Dioxide. This causes thetransportation sector to become one of the largest greenhouse gasesemission contributors. This research is aimed to calculate the greenhousegases emission (Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, and Methane) from theroad transportation sector in Yogyakarta City using IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) Tier 1 and activity data in2015. The result of this research showed that the greenhouse gasesemissions produced in Yogyakarta City for the gasoline fuel and the dieselfuel in 2015 are 236.061 Gg CO2eq /year and 31.807 Gg CO2eq /year. These cause the total greenhouse gases emission from the roadtransportation sector in Yogyakarta City to become 267.868 Gg CO2 eq/year.
Highlights
The fuel used for the vehicle in Indonesia, especially in Yogyakarta City is mostly derived from fossil fuel such as diesel and gasoline
The energy consumption of the electric vehicle is lower than that of the fossil fuel oil in the transportation sector, but it moves the production of greenhouse gases from directly vehicle to power sector [1]
Greenhouse gases emission of Yogyakarta City on road transportation in 2017 is recorded as 256,152 Gg CO2eq /year [9]. It is because of gasoline fuel consumption in 2017 decreased by 7%, but for the diesel fuel consumption increased by 6%
Summary
The fuel used for the vehicle in Indonesia, especially in Yogyakarta City is mostly derived from fossil fuel such as diesel and gasoline. It is because the natural gas or electric vehicle is not yet available in Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta is known as ‘Student City’ because there are many colleges in it These cause many people from other regions to come to Yogyakarta either for studying or traveling. Most of the visitors use their private vehicles to come to Yogyakarta. It causes the greenhouse gases emission generated by the road transportation in Yogyakarta City to gradually increase
