Abstract
The increase of vehicles and the industry activities due to population growth and economics in urban areas had an impact on the increase in consumption of fuel oil and
also CO
2
emissions, that caused global warming. The plant absorption play important role on reducing the emission, therefore Jakarta as a metropolis city, required a huge
area of green open space. This paper aimed to analyze number of gas emissions CO
2
that was produced from consumption of fuel oil and the absorbency of gas CO
2
in the Jakarta city. The estimation method was used to calculate CO
2
emissions based on consumption of fuel oil gasoline and gasoil in Jakarta city. Then the absorbency CO
2
will also be counted related to green open space GOS in the Jakarta city. The Results will be used
as input the POWER SIM model. that was used to this paper. This model aimed was to count emissions CO
2
in the Jakarta city was based on the function of the absorption of emission CO
2
by green open space GOS. Result showed that in the Jakarta city territory, emissions CO
2
that originated in consumption of the highest gasoline emitted in east Jakarta was totally 1.3x10
9
tonyear. Whereas emission CO
2
that originated in consumption of biggest gasoil emitted in North Jakarta total was 5.5x10
8
tonyear. Results running the POWER SIM model showed the existence of the absorption of
emission CO
2
by green open space in the Jakarta city. The total remnant of emission CO
2
after being absorbed by green open space in the Jakarta city during 2013 was big as 6.27x10
9
tonyear. Results of prediction of the model till 2020 showed that emission CO
2
in the Jakarta city will continue to increase through to as big as 26x10
9
tonyear.

1. Introduction
The increase of population and the activity of community in urban areas will increase the energy requirement. Those activities will increase pollutant emissions and greenhouse
gases to air, so that will reduced quality of as healthy life. The decline in the quality of the urban environment will have an impact on the decline in the health and the productivity of
humankind. Therefore the quality of the city environment must become the main attention of the government. The energy for various needs was dominated by the use in various kinds
of the fossil fuel. The consumption trend of energy increasingly increased was seen from the use of the fossil fuel, especially oil for the sector of the transport and diesel fuel for industry
sector was seen 2000–2007 and it was estimated still continued to increase till at this time SLHI 2010. In line with the growth in the sector of the transport that was projected around
6–8 per year, then the use of the fuel was in Indonesia projected improved of 2.1 consumption times 1990 during 1998, of 4.6 times during 2008, and 9 times during 2018
Darwin, 2004. Various human activities that produced emission to the atmosphere were the pressure

for the atmosphere environment. In the area of urban areas, the transport was the main pressure, beside the industry, commercial and domestic. CO
2
Carbon dioxide was one of the greenhouse gases. According to IPCC 2007, the activity of humankind was the biggest
contributor greenhouse emissions especially from consumption of energy that was 26. The source of energy that at this time was used was still using the fossil fuel, natural gas and coal.
The increase in the number of population especially in the urban areas toward the increased consumption of energy. The impact of the development of transport means will like this be
influential directly against emissions gas CO
2
that was taken off to the environment. The increase temperature was greenhouse gas effect. Increasing in temperature would cause
further effects such as polar ice melting, watersea surface increasing, agricultural damage and indirectly can affect economic activities in acountry Andriono et al., 2013. With this
condition, the Jakarta city potential emitted CO
2
that was high enough also. Effort that could be followed in the city environment and urban areas to reduce gas emission CO
2
was the program and the reforestation of the city forest. Gas CO
2
could be absorbed the city forest, the city garden, roof the road, the paddy field, the garden and several forms of space were
open green other. However in this period now green open space and the city forest continued to decrease because of being made the settlement and the area woke up other. Government
policies are needed to be firmly implemented in order to support emission minimization efforts. After all those actions are expected to make a good sinergy in reducing greenhouse
gas emission Ikkatai, 2008.
Because of that this paper aimed carried out by the estimation of emissions CO
2
that was produced from consumption of good fuel oil diesel fuel and premium, as well as the
potential size for the absorbency CO
2
by green open space in Jakarta city that was the biggest city in Indonesia, where the level of the growth of the population as well as consumption of
energy was high enough.
