Status of Emissions in the Philippines: A Literature Review on the Inventory of Greenhouse Gases
Abstract
In the Philippines, the predominant Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) contributing to climate change are Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), and Nitrous Oxide (N2O). Carbon Dioxide is primarily released through the burning of fossil fuels for energy and transportation, making it a significant factor in the nation's carbon footprint. Methane, on the other hand, is emitted from agricultural practices, particularly livestock farming, as well as from landfills and natural gas production. Nitrous Oxide emissions largely arise from agricultural soil management and the use of synthetic fertilizers. Together, these gases not only impact the environment but also pose serious risks to public health and biodiversity, highlighting the urgent need for effective strategies to mitigate their effects and promote sustainable practices throughout the country.
