The Effect of Biofuels Policies on Oil Consumption in the Transportation Sector in OECD Countries

Abstract

The increasing depletion of fossil fuels, greenhouse gases and climate change, dependence on foreign sources of energy and the need to diversify energy supply sources are increasing the importance of biofuels. In this paper, we investigate the effect of biofuels policies on oil consumed in transportation sector using the Augmented Mean Group (AMG) method for OECD countries between the periods 2006-2016. The petroleum import price and economic growth is added to the analysis as an auxiliary variable. Our findings show that the increase in biofuel production in selected OECD countries reduces the oil consumed in the transportation sector. This result shows that the increase in oil import prices will decrease the oil consumed in the transportation sector and therefore countries will switch to alternative oil sources such as biofuels.

OECD Ülkelerinde Biyoyakıt Politikalarının Ulaşım Sektöründeki Petrol Tüketimine Etkisi

Abstract

Fosil yakıtların giderek tükenmesi, sera gazları ve iklim değişikliği, enerjide dışa bağımlılık ve enerji arz kaynaklarını çeşitlendirme ihtiyacı, biyoyakıtların önemini giderek artırmaktadır. Çalışmada, seçilmiş OECD ülkelerinde yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından olan biyoyakıtların ulaşım sektöründe tüketilen petrol üzerindeki etkisi, 2006- 2016 dönemine ait yıllık veriler kullanılarak, Genişletilmiş Ortalama Grup (AMG) yöntemi ile araştırılmaktadır. Analize, yardımcı değişken olarak petrol ithalat fiyatı ve ekonomik büyüme eklenmiştir. Seçilmiş OECD ülkelerinde biyoyakıt üretimi artışının ulaşım sektöründe kullanılan petrolü azalttığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu sonuç, petrol ithal fiyatlarında yaşanacak bir artışın, ulaşım sektöründe tüketilen petrolü azaltacağı ve ülkelerin biyoyakıt gibi petrole alternatif kaynaklara yönelebileceğini göstermektedir.
