G-20 Ülkelerinde Biyokütle Enerji Tüketimi, Ekonomik Büyüme ve CO2 Emisyonu

Abstract

Bu çalışmada 1992-2013 yılları arasında G-20 ülkelerinde biyokütle enerjisi tüketimi, ekonomik büyüme, karbondioksit emisyonu ve doğal kaynak tükenmesi arasındaki ilişki incelenmektedir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, panel birim kök, panel eşbütünleşme, panel FMOLS (fully modifies OLS) ve panel VECM Granger nedensellik yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, biyokütle enerjisi tüketiminin, ekonomik büyümenin, CO₂ emisyonunun ve doğal kaynak tükenmesinin eşbütünleşik olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, biyokütle enerjisi tüketiminin artması ekonomik büyümenin artmasına yol açmaktadır. Öte yandan, biyokütle enerji tüketimindeki artış CO₂ emisyonlarını azaltmaktadır. Ayrıca, büyüme hipotezini destekleyen biyokütle enerji tüketiminden GSYH büyümesine doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik vardır. Son olarak, biyokütle enerji tüketimi ile CO₂ emisyonu arasında iki yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi vardır.

Biomass Energy Consumption, Economic Growth and CO2 Emission in G-20 Countries

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between biomass energy consumption, economic growth, carbon dioxide emissions, and natural resource depletion in G-20 countries from 1992 to 2013. For this purpose, we used panel unit root tests, the panel cointegration test, the panel fully modified OLS (FMOLS) method, and the panel VECM Granger causality method. The results reveal that biomass energy consumption, economic growth, CO₂ emissions, and natural resource depletion are cointegrated. In addition, increasing biomass energy consumption leads to increased economic growth. On the other hand, the increase in biomass energy consumption reduces CO₂ emissions. Moreover, a unidirectional causality exists from biomass energy consumption to GDP growth, supporting the growth hypothesis. Finally, a bidirectional causal relationship exists between biomass energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.
