This problem occurs around the world, especially in the developing countries undergoing a period of industrialization, such as Indonesia. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of energy subsidy, energy consumption, and population growth on CO<sub>2</sub> emissions in Indonesia. The method used was multiple linear regression analysis with ordinary least square approach using time series data within the period of 1990-2014. The results showed that energy subsidy, fossil energy consumption, and population growth have a positive and significant impact on CO<sub>2 </sub>emissions in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the consumption of renewable energy has a negative effect on the emissions of carbon dioxide emissions produced.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> carbon dioxide emissions, fossil energy consumption, energy subsidy, renewable energy consumption</p><p><strong>JEL Classifications:</strong> Q42, Q43</p>}, number={5}, journal={International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy}, author={Sasana, Hadi and Setiawan, Achma Hendra and Ariyanti, Fitri and Ghozali, Imam}, year={2017}, month={Nov.}, pages={245–249} }
