Penentuan Beban Emisi Karbon Dioksida PLTU Batubara Pulau Jawa dari Hasil Pengukuran CEMS

Abstract

Climate change is a real phenomenon that occurs and is felt by all living things that live on earth. The increase in earth's surface temperature is one of the impacts of climate change that continues to occur and has the potential to threaten the sustainability of human life. Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas that exacerbates this condition. One of the largest sources of carbon dioxide emissions comes from the energy sector, namely coal-fired power plants (CFPP). Java Island has CFPP’s with the largest total installed capacity in Indonesia, even the capacity will continue to be added by 8,5 GW or 39,4% until 2030. In its operation, the CFPPs have an air emission measuring device before being discharged into the atmosphere which works continuously called the Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS). To be able to take appropriate climate change mitigation and adaptation steps, CO2 emission load data that has high accuracy and is analyzed directly is needed. The CO2 emission load generated from 20 CFPP units as the object of research is 88,56 million tons of CO2/year. The greater the generating capacity, the greater the CO2 emissions produced. The higher the quality of coal used, the lower the CO2 emissions tend to be. To support global efforts to combat climate change, mitigation actions are needed to reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
