Indonesia Co3 Analysis

To begin, all data collected from figures 1, 2, and 3 are from the carbon dioxide analysis information center (cdaic). After reviewing the data of CO2 emissions for the country of Indonesia, there are a few details which grabbed my attention. The first feature noticed was the year of 1921 in which gas first began to emit in Indonesia. This effected the beginning of the graph/data totals, resulting with lower numbers (shown in figure 3). Liquid was by far the largest contributor for Indonesia towards fuel emissions. From the offset, it increased at a steady high rate almost every year. Randomly between every 15-20 years, it did decrease in liquid emission but eventually returned to its steady rate (shown in figure 3). Solid (second largest contributor) also increased at a steady rate and involved instances in which it would either dramatically increase or decrease in emissions within a year. Indonesia began emitting significant amounts of CO2 around the 1970’s, although it had its highest increase in the 20th century (shown in graph 3). To be specific, in the year 2008 it reached its highest increase at 111,000,000 metric tons of carbon. Historically emissions from the consumption of liquid petroleum are the primary source of fossil-related emissions of Indonesia. In fact, in 2008 this source accounted for 36.6% of fossil fuel CO2 emissions for Indonesia (cdiac.ornl.gov). Based on the graph (figure 2) compared to countries Italy and Kenya, Indonesia seems to show similar results. In addition, India seems to be the middle country out of the group. In definitely, the United States (highest co2) and China are ridiculously ahead in CO2 compared to Indonesia. To obtain data for per captia value, we can divide Indonesia’s (0.63) to that of the United States (4.7). All in all, there is a difference of 13.4% when comparing Indonesia to the United States. With a .63 per captia value, Indonesia obviously has a smaller amount than United States. I believe this number has to with the population in this case. Because Indonesia has a smaller population than the United States, carbon has the increasing ability to spread out more within the country. A country’s rank based on CO2 emissions is an important feature that can indicate further data. Indonesia’s rank is 132, while the United States rank is 12.

For example in 2010 United States had an average population of 309,000,000 people, while China had 1,338,000,000 people. The graph in figure 3 shows the United States emitted more CO2 into the atmosphere than China. This overall makes an American citizen at fault for emitting more CO2 into the atmosphere because they have a smaller population, and are nearly even with China on their CO2 emissions. Furthermore, these results also explain why the United States is the leader for the most CO2 emissions out of countries Italy, China, Kenya, India, and Indonesia. Additionally, to provide supporting data in thousand metric tons, China has 31793558, India 9151461, United States 91229888, and Indonesia with 2555175. Seeing that this data is present, when dividing China’s total CO2 emissions number by United States, China does a difference of 35% in metric tons than that of the United States. When dividing India’s total CO2 emissions number from United States, the difference is only 10% metric
