Sustainability of Industries

Sintharm: explain "relation between sugar cane factory, automotive factory, and oil and gas company" and make it simple please This is what my ChatGPT responded to the interconnecting industries.

ChatGPT: The relation between sugar cane factory, automotive factory, and oil and gas company is that they are all part of a larger industrial system.

Sugar cane factories produce sugar, which can be used to make ethanol, a type of fuel. This ethanol can then be used by automotive factories to make cars that run on alternative fuels.

Oil and gas companies, on the other hand, produce fossil fuels, which are used to power cars and other machinery.

So, while the sugar cane factory and automotive factory are working towards creating more sustainable and environmentally friendly options, the oil and gas company is still producing traditional fossil fuels.

Overall, these three industries are all interconnected and contribute to the functioning of modern society, but they have different impacts on the environment and different levels of sustainability.

Sintharm: what is your references on your response?

ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I don't have personal beliefs or opinions, nor do I have references in the traditional sense. My response was based on general knowledge and understanding of the relationships and interconnections between different industries in the modern world. The information I provided can be found in a variety of sources such as textbooks, academic articles, news articles, and general information available online.

Indonesia Climate Transparency

In 2022, a climate transparency report of Indonesia was made. After reading the report I wanted to highlight on the energy sector.

The energy sector donates 65% of the greenhouse gas emissions in Indonesia. And that the largest amount of Carbon Emissions of energy sector come from fuel combustion. And the fuel combustion is by fossil fuels, while renewables made up a small share of total primary energy mix. Fossil fuels (oil, coal, and gas) make up 71% of Indonesia’s energy mix. Solar, wind, geothermal and biomass, excluding traditional biomass, account for 22% of Indonesia’s energy supply.

Because of that I think that Indonesia needs a lot of manpower that can take advantages of using the renewable energy.

Project Proposal

Regarding the writings before this, my project is about the CO2 Emissions simulation of EV. After reading a whole segment of electric vehicle and also about Carbon Emissions it is safe to say that using electric vehicle somehow reduce the carbon emissions. The use of electric vehicles (EVs) can provide several advantages in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions:

Lower Emissions: EVs emit fewer GHGs than traditional gas-powered vehicles. According to the US Department of Energy, an EV emits about half as much GHGs as a gas-powered vehicle on average. Renewable Energy: EVs can be powered by renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, which emit no GHGs during electricity generation. This means that the use of EVs can further reduce GHG emissions. Reduced Smog: EVs emit no tailpipe pollutants, which can help reduce smog and improve air quality, especially in urban areas. Increased Efficiency: EVs are more efficient than traditional gas-powered vehicles, as they convert a higher percentage of energy from the battery to power the vehicle. This means that less energy is wasted during operation, further reducing GHG emissions.

And by using simulation that is known for a cost-effective way to simulate the kinematic and dynamic behaviours of vehicles in real-time. I can try to simulate and develop a simulation from OpenModelica to know the CO2 Emissions from Electric Vehicle.
