What is Greenhouse Gas?
Greenhouse gas is a gas in atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation. 3 priority Greenhouse gases in Malaysia is carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O).
How to control the Greenhouse Gas?
First we have measure the emission of the greenhouse gases. Now in year 2011 we have World Carbon Dioxide emission data so that we can compare which country raise up their carbon emission and which are gone down their CO2 production.
To estimate C02 emission in Malaysia it were measured from the major source of the following sector :
1. Energy - Fuel Combstion
2. Industrial Processes
3. Waste - Industrial waste water treatment
4. Land use change and Forest y - Forest and grassland conversion
For Malaysia : United Nations data shows Malaysia's carbon emissions in 2006 stood at 187 million tonnes or 7.2 tonnes from each Malaysian.
