“…Until now, existing studies have examined the Taiwanese energy situation from different perspectives: environment 5–9 ; socioeconomic cost 10 ; policy 3,11–15 ; industry 16,17 ; and energy management. 18–21 None of this research, however, has presented a framework for Taiwan that can simultaneously assess the interaction effects of pursuing the 3Es and different types of energy.…”

Taiwan intends to be nuclear free by 2025. This study employs the Lotka–Volterra competition model for sustainable development to analyze the emissions–energy–economy (3Es) issue to make appropriate policy suggestions for a nuclear-free transition. It also offers a new approach to naming the 3E relationship. The literature review shows that the environmental Kuznets curve accompanies the feedback and conservation hypotheses. In the 3E dynamics relationship analysis, the model shows a good mean absolute percentage error (<15%) for the model estimation. The key findings are as follows: 1) the fossil fuel-led economy exists; 2) CO2 emissions are reduced with nuclear energy consumption; 3) renewable energy is far from scale; 4) a complementary effect exists between fossil fuel and nuclear energy consumption; and 5) gas retrofitting and phasing out of nuclear seem imminent. In the energy transition, Taiwan drastically cuts nuclear energy without considering energy diversity due to which troubles might ensue. The priority issue for Taiwan’s energy mix is energy security. To deal with these concerns, this study suggests the government could improve energy efficiency, build a smart grid, develop carbon capture and storage, and reconsider putting nuclear energy back into the energy mix before renewable energy is scaled.

“…For example, steam cracking of ethane in U.S. required energy about 23.50 GJ/ton and emitted the greenhouse gas emissions by 0.90 tCO 2 -eq./ton of ethylene [9][10]. For the production using naphtha as feedstock, the energy demand was approximately 31.5 GJ/ton and greenhouse gas emissions by 2.47 tCO 2 emission/ton of ethylene [9,11].…”

Abstract. This research is aimed to estimate energy consumption and the greenhouse gases emission from olefins production process in Thailand and to analysis its correlation between energy intensity and carbon intensity. The results of five olefin case study plants showed that direct energy use of olefins production was about 87% of total energy consumption. The greatest amount of energy demand was supplied for fuel combustion in manufacturing processes. The olefin plants using gas feedstock could operate with less amount of energy consumed as the average energy intensity (EI) of 23.88 GJ/ton of olefin produced, whereas plants of olefin produced from steam cracking of liquid feedstock had the average EI of 33.21 GJ/ton of olefin produced. Greenhouse gas emission from olefin plants using gas feedstock were consistent with the result of EI. The carbon intensity (CI) from olefin plants using gas feedstock (0.98 tCO2-eq./ton of olefin produced) was lower than the plants using liquid feedstock (2.01 tCO2-eq./ton of olefin produced). The T-test function used to reflect the correlation between EI and CI emphasized that the carbon intensity was significantly correlated with the intensity of energy (r = 0.9564 and p = 0.05).
