ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of biomass energy consumption and non-renewable energy consumption on sustainable development in OECD countries. Data from 36 OECD member countries for the period 1990–2017 have been obtained with the System-GMM method. According to the estimation results, the effect of biomass energy consumption on per capita sustainable development is positive and statistically significant whereas the effect of non-renewable energy on sustainable development is negative. According to this, the use of biomass energy sources in these countries causes the level of per capita sustainable development to rise. OECD countries should prefer biomass energy instead of non-renewable energy sources to reach the 2030 SDGs. Thus, this study shows the importance of biomass energy for sustainable development.

摘要

这项研究的目的是分析经合组织国家生物质能源消耗和不可再生能源消耗对可持续发展的影响。1990-2017年期间，来自36个经合组织成员国的数据已通过System-GMM方法获得。根据估算结果，生物质能源消耗对人均可持续发展的影响是积极的，并具有统计学意义，而不可再生能源对可持续发展的影响是消极的。据此，这些国家对生物质能源的利用使人均可持续发展水平提高。经合组织国家应选择生物质能源代替不可再生能源，以实现2030年可持续发展目标。因此，这项研究表明了生物质能对于可持续发展的重要性。
