Effects of Biofuel Crop Expansion on Green Gross Domestic Product

Abstract: : Following Thailand’s Alternative Energy Development Plan, lands for sugarcane and oil palm are being expanded to support biofuel production, thus decreasing the availability of land for other crops. Not only does this lead to the change in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) but also environmental consequences. This study assessed the effects of land expansion caused by biofuel promotion on Green GDP, which is the conventional GDP after adjusting for environmental damage. A static computable general equilibrium (CG… Show more

“…GCAM is a global model that links the world's energy, agriculture and land use systems to climate models [5] . Designed to assess various climate change policies and technology strategies globally over time, the model tracks emissions and atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, carbonaceous aerosols, sulfur dioxide, and reactive gases, and provides estimates of associated climate impacts, and the model has been widely used to explore the costs of technologies and policies for climate change mitigation.…”

“…Various methods in literature review all adopt different accounting ideas, framework structure, index system and functional application, but the existing highly recognized GGDP accounting methods lack methods to verify that using GGDP as the main measure of a country's economic health does have an impact on global climate change [5] . In this paper, we establish the accounting model of GGDP which is closely related to GDP based on SEEA.…”

“…The basic idea is to include environmental and ecological issues as components of GDP, calculate the costs and losses of environmental and resource consumption, pollution control, etc., and deduct these costs from GDP to arrive at a more comprehensive and realistic economic growth figure. The introduction of green GDP reflects not only the growing prominence of environmental issues, but also the urgent need for sustainable development and ecological civilization [2][3][4][5] .…”

“…In order to deal with the problems mentioned above, the concept of green GDP comes into being [3][4][5]. Compared with traditional GDP, the accounting method of green GDP not only considers the economic growth rate but also pays attention to the factors, such as resource consumption, environmental pollution and other aspects on society, so as to reflect the combined effect of economy, resources and environment more comprehensively and objectively, which is a larger overall effect on the whole society [6][7][8][9][10].…”
