“…Second, the GTAP database does not have biofuel sectors, so we specified sectors for ethanol and biodiesel, including three subsectors for ethanol: corn based, sugar-based ethanol (i.e., ethanol produced from sugar cane and sugar beet), and other grains-based ethanol (i.e., ethanol produced from wheat and other cereal grains). Most of the elasticity parameters are taken from the literature including Burniaux and Chateau (2010); Jarrett and Torres (1987); Ma et al (2010); Narayanan and Walmsley (2008); Timilsina and Shrestha (2006) and van der Werf (2008).…”

“…Levinson's (2009) research shows that technological progress in the United States has a significant negative impact on carbon emissions. There are also come studies based on the input-output model and Computable General Equilibrium Model confirming that the technological progress is the main driving force of CO2 reduction (Manne and Richels, 2005;Okushima and Tamura, 2010;Timilsina and Shrestha, 2006).…”

The technological progress of a country may mean that its technology gap compared to the frontier has changed, which will induce a change in its positioning in the global value chain and affect its carbon intensity. Using paten data, Input Output Database and the Global Value Chain Index, we employ systematic Generalized Method of Moments, quantile regression with panel data and multilevel mediation analysis to measure empirically the impact of the technology gap on carbon intensity and positioning on the global value chain. The empirical analysis shows that narrowing the technology gap will reduce significantly a country's carbon intensity.Further, the effect of the technology gap on carbon intensity is more pronounced on

“…The electricity generation from these projects would result in an emission reduction of 0.8 million tonnes of CO 2 per year, which only account for less than 0.5% as projected in Thailand's Initial National Communication to UNFCCC 19 (MOST 2000). To compare, CO 2 emission reductions from the energy sector were estimated to be about 974 million tonnes during the 2000-2020 period of which supply side options accounted for 85% (Timilsina and Shrestha 2006).…”

Renewable energy is considered an indispensable basis of sustainable energy systems as electricity generation from renewable sources results in low emissions of greenhouse gases compared to fossil fuel based electricity and contributes to sustainable development. However, effective strategies and conducive institutional settings are needed for advancement of such clean electricity systems. Although Thailand, as a nation, has a huge potential for renewable energy utilization, its total amount of electricity generation from renewables is relatively small and could be enlarged substantially. Lack of policy mechanisms, institutional development and financing exist as major barriers for Thailand in this regard. Investigation of the nation's current energy strategy implementation shows that relevant energy and development policies are at different stages of implementation and institutional settings are continuously evolving. This paper argues that further significant efforts could be made towards advancement of renewable electricity and thus achievement of energy sustainability in Thailand. Resource planning, effective policy and institutions, focussed planning for energy sustainability and implementation of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol could facilitate further advancement of renewables for the nation.
