Abstract

The increasing global demand for wood products has driven a rise in energy consumption, consequently contributing to higher greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as the primary factors that are accelerating global warming. This study aims to evaluate the energy efficiency and carbon footprint of the veneer wood production process using Dipterocarpus spp. as raw material in a manufacturing industry. This research was conducted in support of climate change mitigation based on the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The CO2 emissions were analyzed using two methods: a national method based on the guidelines from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) and an international method using DEFRA standards. The results showed total emissions of 370.22 tonnes CO2e using the national method and 344.10 tonnes CO2e using DEFRA’s standard. The majority of emissions originated from fossil fuel consumption, particularly in heavy equipment operations. Then, energy efficiency was evaluated using the Energy Productivity Ratio (EPR) with an average value 2.04. This indicates that the industry is operating at a level compatible with sustainable practices. Moreover, the findings reveal a positive correlation between the proportion of raw materials converted into primary products and improvements in energy efficiency. This study provides a critical quantitative foundation for enhancing energy management strategies in the industrial sector and for preparing future integration into carbon credit schemes. Furthermore, the research contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in supporting the transition toward a greener and low-carbon industry.
