Analysis of the potential implementation of a methane-based carbon tax in the livestock sector in Indonesia

As one of the contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, methane emissions produced by the livestock sector are something that must be addressed immediately. A carbon tax could be one option that can be implemented to overcome this problem. This research aims to discuss whether there is potential to implement a methane-based carbon tax in the livestock sector in Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative approach with a systematic literature review and uses the PRISMA method. The literature used is publications published from 2020 to 2024. Research shows that there is potential for implementing a methane-based carbon tax and there is potential for implementing a carbon tax in the livestock sector. It is hoped that this research will provide clarity regarding the potential for implementing a carbon tax in Indonesia and become a reference for other studies in the future. The limitation of this research is that there has not been a comparison of ideal practices in implementing methane-based carbon taxes in other countries with existing regulations in Indonesia.
