sources of greenhouse gas emissions. In industry, manufacturing processes are
highly dependent on energy. Energy is required for the production of steam, motor
fuel, furnace fuel, boiler fuel for steam production, and other industrial
applications. Due to worsening environmental problems, such as climate change,
stakeholders place greater demands and pressure on companies to care about the
environment. The presence of carbon accounting is a supplement to the adoption
of the Kyoto Protocol (Pratiwi et al., 2021). To reduce emissions or increase GHG
absorption and conversion capacity, mitigation is a policy measure required. The
implementation of GHG emission mitigation consists of 4 main strategies
(Wahyudi et al., 2016). Namely: Elimination: Avoiding or eliminating activities
that use equipment that can cause GHG emissions. Example: Using manual
equipment that does not use electrical energy. Reduction: Doing efficiency when
using equipment that requires electrical energy. Example: Turning off lights when
not in use, unplugging cables when equipment is not in use, etc. Substitution:
Replacing or changing technology that is more efficient and has lower CO2
emissions. Example: Replacing incandescent bulbs with LEDs, changing PLN's
energy sources to solar power, etc. Offset: Increase absorption of CO2 emissions.
Example: Expanding Green Space, Reforestation (Reforestation), etc.
Calculating GHG Emissions: Electricity is one of the energy sources that
people need for their daily life. Most people in the world, especially in Indonesia,
use electricity 24 hours a day to help them carry out their activities (Paulus BK &
Ninin G, 2016). Meanwhile, the Energy Sector is currently still using BBF (Fossil
Fuels) so that without control and control in the energy sector, this non-renewable
natural resource will run out more quickly. So that the energy sector becomes a
priority. It is necessary to implement clean industrial processes and production
because it will increase the efficiency of the use of raw materials and energy
(Muryani, 2018).
The calculation of GHG emissions begins with the identification of the
emission scope (Scope Emission) in the company (Industry). Greenhouse gas
emissions produced by an industry consist of three categories (Awanthi &
Navaratne, 2018). namely: Scope 1 is carbon emissions from activities that we can
control directly, Example: the use of boilers, generators, and other fossil fuel-
powered tools and facilities, as well as company operational vehicles for the
movement of people and goods (transport). Scope 2 is emission from energy that
we get or import from external sources, such as: steam that we get from external
sources or electricity that we get from PLN. Scope 3 is emissions produced by
parties who provide goods for company. Except for the difficulty of accessing
