Abstract

In order to  mitigate the impact of climate change  arising from Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions generated from the transportation sector, many countries  including Indonesia, have  initiated to develop policies to encourage environmentally friendly transportation technologies. Electric vehicles  represent a highly sustainable  alternative when compared to conventional vehicles. This study aims to  assess the potential reduction of GHG emissions from the shifting  to electric vehicle utilization on Java Island. The research method was conducted by modeling conventional vehicles until 2033 where there was a transition to electric vehicles throughout the model year and then calculating the GHG emission.  This study employs three scenarios : Business As Usual (BAU), Electric Vehicle Plan (EVP) with existing scenario power plant and Electric Vehicle Plan (EVP) with National Energy Plan (NEP) scenario power plant.  Model results revealed potential GHG emission reductions within 12.11% from the Existing EVP scenario and 12.54% from the NEP scenario against the BAU scenario  due to the shifting usege of electric vehicles on Java island. Based on the model results, it is possible to determine that shifting from conventional vehicles to electric vehicles can reduce GHG emissions from conventional vehicle use.
