Abstract
The biggest cause of climate change is the result of human activities which produce emissions from almost all industrial activity sectors that use fossil fuels, organic waste processing, and the use of refrigerants in electronic devices. Activities such as deforestation, poor waste management, and fossil fuel power generation add to the production of GHG (Green Houses Gases) emissions. Based on the 2020 world emission data, Indonesia is the top 9 (nine) country as the country having the worst air quality. The graph of Indonesia^s CO2 emission by fuel from the Global Carbon Projector shows that the largest contributor to emissions comes from coal fired power plants. This is according to data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources which shows that by 2021, coal-fired power plants are the largest contributor to electricity supply in Indonesia with a percentage of generators reaching 47% followed by PLTG at 28%. Both PLTU and PLTG are classified as thermal power plants that produce emissions so that the Ministry of Environment and Forestry includes them in the industrial sector which must be included in the SISPEK system. The SISPEK Integration Scheme (Continuous Industrial Emission Monitoring Information System) is a data integration system built by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry to facilitate monitoring of emissions from industries in Indonesia. The weakness of measuring with Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS) equipment is that the cost of procuring the equipment is very expensive. The price for 1 (one) CEMS unit is EUR Euro 216,080 (IDR 3.5 billion). This price does not include annual maintenance costs which are also very high and if it is damaged it takes a very long time to repair because CEMS in Indonesia are all imported products. Manual measurement of emissions also has many weaknesses because it takes a long time, involves a KAN- accredited laboratory whose involvement process begins with a tender every year.
