Question 43

During the intense 2015 El Niño event, extensive peatland fires in Indonesia released a significant volume of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The total carbon emissions from these peat fires across the entire country were estimated at 1,600 million tonnes (MtMtMt). The province of Central Kalimantan alone was responsible for 592 million tonnes (MtMtMt) of this total.

Calculate the percentage of total Indonesian peat fire carbon emissions that originated from Central Kalimantan during this event.
