Climate Change and Energy Consumption Patterns in Thailand: Time Trends During 1988-2013

Abstract

In traditional context, fossil fuel energy consumption is observed as non-renewable sources and contributing its major part for the energy source in the world economy. However, a new term under the title of renewable energy source is also examined and studied too. The focus of this paper is to investigate the impact of fossil fuel energy and renewable energy sources on the factor of climate change. For the measurement of climate change, overall six dimensions were added in the empirical analyses. The time period for the study was 1987 to 2013 and data was collected from World Development Indicator WDI. Findings for the regression analyses reveal that climate change in terms of CO 2 emissions from liquid fuel consumption (kt) or C 1 is directly influenced by both fossil and renewable energy, and same trend is found for CO 2 emissions (kt); C 2 . Meanwhile, the third indicator of climate change C 3 or CO 2 emissions (kg per 2010 US$ of GDP) is negatively affected by renewable energy. Furthermore, C 4 (CO 2 emissions from gaseous fuel consumption [% of total]) is directly influenced by both of the energy sources in Thailand. Additionally, the trends in C 5 is found to be positively determined by both fossil fuel and renewable energy, while their negative and significant impact is observed for C 6 ; CO 2 emissions from transport (% of total fuel combustion). Future research studies may consider the sub division of energy sources in both public and private sectors.

The role of technological innovation and cleaner energy towards the environment in ASEAN countries: proposing a policy for sustainable development goals

“…However, like long-run estimation, GDP2 was observed to be negatively linked with the CE, which means that it contributes towards lowering the CE in the natural environment. The negative impacts of INV and REN on CE are consistent with a number of past studies (Ganda, 2019;Long et al, 2015;Nguyen et al, 2020;Yuaningsih et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2017). In addition, findings for EFP as the main dependent variable also posit a significant and negative impact from innovation and renewable.…”

The Concept for the Development of Biogas as Renewable Energy in Rural Indonesia

“…If people in rural areas can develop this program, energy-independent communities will be created, in particular, to meet the daily energy needs of households. Indonesia's energy sources are diverse, primarily consisting of wind, sunshine, and biogas [5].…”
