CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSION FROM YEAR
2000 - 2014
Electricity produced from coal sources in the
Philippines
CO2 Emission; Electricity
Production From Coal by Year
This will have a negative
effect in the country’s
environment since carbon
dioxide emission directly
influences the temperature.
The Philippine government
have already declared of
not allowing any new coal-
fired plants in the future,
shifting to renewable
energy sources. With this
the CO2 emission from coal
may be mitigated.
The Philippines has a total
of 28 coal-fired
powerplants.
The Philippines’s power
capacity for coal-fired
powerplants is roughly 9.88
Giga Watts wherein 46.3% of
the country’s electricity if
produced from coal.
The highest electricity
production from coal
sources is from year 2014
in which 42.78% of the
country’s electricity is
from coal sources.
Almost 50% each year, the
Carbon Dioxide Emissions
comes from coal-fired
powerplants.
The graph shows that overtime, as the
percentage of electricity produced from coal
increases, the CO2 emission also increases.
Coal accounts for nearly
half of the Philippines’
energy mix, and is expected
to increase to 53% by 2030,
when the 22 proposed
plants that have already
been approved come online.
