Abstract
Background: Greenhouse gases are gases present in the atmosphere that are beneficial in trapping solar radiation, thereby maintaining the Earth's temperature stability. However, if the concentration of greenhouse gases increases, it can lead to global warming, which impacts climate change. This research aims to present estimates of greenhouse gas emissions originating from the transportation sector in Semarang District. This is necessary to plan strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Methods: The data used are secondary data obtained from various literature studies. The data were analyzed using emission strength formulas (Q). Finding: The results of this study show that the number of motor vehicles in Semarang District in 2021 reached 559,805 with emissions produced amounting to 348,230 tons/hour. The highest percentage of emissions is from passenger cars at 42%. Conclusion: Various efforts are being made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including implementing environmental taxes and reducing the use of oil-fueled vehicles by switching to renewable technologies, such as electric vehicles.
