“…In addition, China's sewage tax collection and environmental protection subsidies are implemented by the environmental protection department; these measures target most of China's industrial enterprises, thereby raising the question of whether the "sewage tax (fee)-environmental protection subsidies" can be effectively transformed [38]. This issue is controversial and has not been discussed by scholars.…”

How environmental regulations affect natural gas consumption in China is an urgent issue that must be addressed to achieve the optimal allocation of natural gas resources. The nonspatial panel model and spatial Durbin model have been applied in this paper to explore the impact of environmental regulation on gas consumption and the influence mechanism of such regulation. The results show that there is a N-inverted curve between environmental regulation and gas consumption at the national level. Three main mechanisms (or paths) by which environmental regulation affects natural gas consumption are discovered: controlling the total amount of coal in the energy mix, reducing industrial coal consumption and adjusting energy market prices. The first and third paths positively and significantly affect gas consumption, while the second path negatively affects gas consumption. Second, the spillover effects of environmental regulation promote the growth of gas consumption and integration of the natural gas market at the national level. Considering the provincial level, however, some regions have high regulation-high gas consumption intensity (HH), while others have low regulation-low gas consumption intensity (LL). Based on the above conclusions, we give recommendations for improving energy regulations in different regions to promote the development of regional natural gas markets.

“…It aims to simulate the EU agricultural supply by taking into consideration the production derived from main crops and livestock 3 . The model has been widely used in previous studies of agricultural and/or environmental policies (De Cara et al, 2005;Galko & Jayet, 2011;De Cara & Jayet, 2011;De Cara et al, 2018).…”

This study focuses on the links between food production and greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union. The analysis relies on two sets of simulations of AROPAj, a supply-side model of EU agriculture: (i) a carbon price affecting agricultural GHG emissions (from 0 to 200 EUR/tCO2eq), and (ii) a lower limit on the net quantity of food calories provided by EU agriculture (200 to 450 Mt soft wheat equivalent). The model is calibrated on six annual datasets 2007-2012. The results show that a moderate increase in the price of carbon would lead to an increase in total areas and outputs of crops. Animal production decreases over the explored range of carbon price. At 200 EUR/tCO2eq, the reduction in GHG emissions ranges from 25 to 35% depending on the year of calibration. The results also show that current net calorie production from food can be more than doubled, while simultaneously reducing GHG emissions by 10-15%. The compatibility between a reduction in GHG emissions and an increase in food calorie production relies on substantial changes in animal production and feed, which implies significant variations in grassland and fallow land. These effects are contrasted between the regions of the EU.

“…Quantitative results analyzed in the article are based on the European agro-economic model AROPAj (see De Cara & Jayet (2011), De Cara et al (2018 and Jayet et al (2019) for a more comprehensive presentation). AROPAj is a supply-side model in the category of mathematical programming models with a linear basic structure.…”

We assess the potential for increasing the net amount of food calories produced by French agriculture and the possible implications in terms of greenhouse gas emissions and agricultural area allocation. This analysis is based on an agricultural supply model for the European Union mainly with regard to arable crops, meadows, fodder crops and the main animal products. The model calculates the variations in agricultural greenhouse gas emissions associated with the required level of production. Within the framework of a prospective approach carried out under the technical and economic conditions of the period 2007-2012, we calculate the extent of the changes in an agricultural production system, to which we assign the objective of increasing the net production of calories. In France, for an increase of 40% to 60% depending on the year, three-quarters of meadows would disappear, a large proportion of temporary meadows would switch to cereals, and fallows could exceed 20% of the total agricultural area. These changes would result from the sharp fall in livestock, especially of cattle for meat. The key factor in the analysis is animal feed, which, in addition to the decrease in grass consumption, would lead to a slight increase in fodder and cereals produced and consumed on the farm, and a sharp decrease of around 50% in the purchase of concentrated feeds. The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is substantial, at least in terms of methane, and could exceed 30% of reference emissions in carbon dioxide equivalent.
