Abstract: This study examines the production of CO₂ by the Indonesian economy in 1990 and 2000 using an input-output (I-O) model. It also assesses the implication of residential sector energy efficiency improvement programmes for CO₂ production by the Indonesian economy in 2000. The study shows that the CO₂ emissions from Indonesia would increase from 165 million tons in 1990 to 371 million tons in 2000 in the ||business as usual|| scenario. With the adoption of energy efficiency improvement measures in the residential sector, it is shown that the total CO₂ production in 2000 would be reduced by 4.5 million tons.

Keywords: CO₂ emissions; input-output analysis; energy efficiency improvements.
