One of the biggest factors for climate change is pollution. It is created by combustion processes and becomes one of the challenges faced. The combustion system emits carbon monoxide, sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, particulates (both coarse and fine), volatile organic species and greenhouse gasses. Nowadays we have seen progress in research and development by creating cleaner, reliable and energy efficient ways for the combustion processes to reduce emissions.

Carbon dioxide is a major problem in terms of its greenhouse gas potential, and this has also always been a product of carbon combustion. No matter how hard the regulation frameworks to take a role in controlling the pollutants, the combustion processes will invariably produce things we did not necessarily want in the first palace. And it can be very harmful to the environment. Basically, it is because carbon dioxide is something that we produce. If we burn carbon, we produce carbon dioxide as it is a natural product. Therefore, carbon dioxide emissions have become a huge future challenge for combustion industries. The future energy processes are now being developed by assessing the feasibility of using carbon capture storage (CCS) technology.

Combustion processes have a big contribution to climate change. The emission of carbon dioxide is an unavoidable fact when we deal with processes that are powered by fossil fuels. Combustion has a large proportion for the emission and the effort of developing cleaner processes in combustions such as the changes of the combustion system, the treatment of the fuel and also the clean technology for the system are needed to take into consideration for the industries. The legislative framework about combustion in Indonesia that is stated on the first nationally determined contribution shows that mitigation of the amount of pollutants can bring such changes into the climate changes.
