Assessing the Contribution of Energy Production and Consumption to CO2 Emissions in the Philippines: Understanding and Mitigating Environmental Impacts

This research paper aims to assess the contribution of energy production and consumption to CO2 emissions in the Philippines and proposes strategies to mitigate environmental impacts. The study focuses on identifying specific factors that directly impact carbon dioxide emissions, encompassing various energy sources utilized in the country. By analyzing key variables such as energy consumption, energy production, GDP, population, and energy intensity per capita, the researchers aim to comprehend their individual contributions to CO2 emissions and develop targeted strategies for carbon reduction and sustainable energy practices. The paper utilizes datasets from reputable sources, applies statistical analyses, and constructs predictive models using Multiple Linear Regression and the SARIMAX model to forecast future CO2 emission values. The results provide insights into the effectiveness of the models and their potential implications for environmental conservation in the Philippines.
