Determination of Natural Gas Consumption and Carbon Emission in Natural Gas Supplying Countries in Asia Pacific

Abstract

This study investigates determination of natural gas consumption and carbon emission in the middle income group of natural gas supplying countries in Asia Pacific, including China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Vietnam during the period 2000-2021 by applying the simultaneous equation analysis. The results of this study are that carbon emission increase due to the real exchange rate, population and natural gas production, but carbon emission will reduce natural gas consumption. Furthermore, natural gas consumption increases due to natural gas production, GDP per capita and energy intensity. This study recommends the government to develop clean and efficient alternative energy to reduce carbon emission in response to natural gas demand for domestic and foreign market needs.

Interdependencies of Environmental Quality, Poverty, and Green Growth: A Simultaneous Equation Analysis Across Indonesian Provinces

“…EQ is an important component in supporting economic activities because it provides many inputs to produce output (Aung & Fischer, 2020). EQ is an important asset that must be maintained by all economic actors so that its carrying capacity is maintained for future generations (Aimon et al, 2022a). EQ is the unity of space with all objects, forces, conditions, and living creatures, including humans and their behavior, which influences the life and welfare of humans and other living creatures (Dahliah & Nur, 2021).…”

Economic Growth and Environmental Degradation in Indonesia: The Roles of Investment, Inflation, Income Inequality, Fossil Consumption, and Poverty

“…The factual phenomenon that occurred was that from 2016 to 2018, when EG increased, ED actually decreased. Furthermore, contrasting conditions occurred in 2019, where 0.00 Based on an empirical study of the relationship between EG and ED that has been carried out by several researchers in various developing countries [5,7,[14][15][16], they found that high EG would lead to increased ED. This condition occurs because developing countries make the environment a natural capital that will make a major contribution to the development and welfare of its people.…”

The Nexus of Income Inequality, Growth, and Environmental Degradation in ASEAN Economies

“…Empirical studies have found several determinants of environmental degradation, including fairer income distribution resulting in lower environmental degradation [39]. Then, growth results in a reduction in natural resources and an increase in environmental pollution [40,41]. Furthermore, industry is one of the development sectors that has the potential to damage the environment [42,43].…”
