Abstract

Ungaran City, part of the SWP-1 area, is experiencing growth in transportation, industrial, and household sectors, which may increase greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from energy use. Indonesia has committed to reducing GHG emissions by 29% by 2030 independently, requiring cooperation from regional governments, including Ungaran City. To support this commitment, mitigation actions are needed. This study aims to analyze development programs that potentially increase emissions, conduct an emission inventory, and plan strategies for emission reduction, focusing on transportation, industrial, and household sectors. The methodology applies the 2006 IPCC approach for energy use, using the average Vehicle Kilometer Traveled (VKT) for transportation, fuel consumption estimates for households, and the Industrial Pollution Projection System (IPPS) with worker numbers for the industrial sector. Data analysis was aligned with Indonesia’s reduction targets. The results indicate that Ungaran City’s development programs will increase GHG emissions, with projections reaching 156.46 Gg CO2e in 2030. To meet the target, a reduction of 17.21 Gg CO2e is required. However, current strategies can only reduce 12.35 Gg CO2e. Therefore, additional programs, such as mandatory substitution of transportation fuels in Semarang Regency, are recommended to bridge the gap and support the 2030 reduction target.
