Environmental Sustainability in Indonesia

Firstly, lets look at sustainability in Indonesia and Australia

Main Source of Energy in Indonesia

Petroleum is Indonesia’s main source of energy with it making up 30% of the total energy consumption for the country

Alternative Energy Sources

Indonesia does not have many alternative energy sources but are hoping in the near future to use the alternative energy sources of solar power, wind energy and hydro power to their full potential

Main Source of Transport Indonesia’s main sources of

transportation include cars and motor scooters

Pollution in Indonesia Indonesia’s main form of pollution is

through water pollution

Water Use In 1993, it was stated that the daily

usage of water for an Indonesian was 38.4L per day. Even though this information is quite old, the daily usage of water used by an Indonesian would not have changed very drastically

Indonesia’s Ecological Footprint

Research done could not identify Indonesia, as a whole, ecological footprint. It would be assumed though after looking at the previous factors, their ecological footprint would be quite high

Now, lets look at Australia’s Sustainability

Main Source of Energy in Australia

Petroleum and other oils make up Australia’s main source of energy with it being 36% of the total energy consumption in the country

Alternative Energy Sources

• Australia’s main source of Alternative energy is Hydropower

Main Source of Transport Australia’s main

source of transportation is by car. In major cities, it is common to see many people use public transport including busses and trains but in smaller cities, public transport is not as common

Pollution In Australia, air pollution is the major

form of pollution faced in the country

Water Use The average daily water consumption

for an Australian is 340L per person. This number is so high due to the fact that we use water to drink, have showers, go to the toilet and brush our teeth which starts to all add up when we think about it

Australia’s Ecological Footprint Australia has one of the largest

ecological footprints in the world! Most of our footprint is due to Green House Gas Emissions with the average household emitting 14 tones of greenhouse gases each year

From all of the information looked at, what did you

find interesting or surprising and why?

Write down 5 points being a combination of similarities and

differences you found most important when

learning about Indonesia’s and Australia’s Environmental Sustainability
