Where Indonesia's CO₂ comes from
Coal is the largest source. A coal-heavy mix means power generation is the main lever for cutting emissions.
Per person: Indonesia vs the world
Production vs consumption
Counting the CO₂ embedded in the goods it imports and exports, Indonesia's consumption-based footprint was 728 million tonnes (2.59 t per person) in 2023. Indonesia is a net exporter of emissions: 4% of what it emits goes into goods consumed abroad.
Primary energy use: 10,529 kWh per person (world 21,654 kWh).
