Decomposing drivers of transportation energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions for the Philippines

Neil Stephen LOPEZ, Anthony S.F. CHIU, Jose Bienvenido Manuel BIONA

Frontiers in Energy 2018, Volume 12, Issue 3,   Pages 389-399 doi: 10.1007/s11708-018-0578-7

Abstract:

Global CO2 emissions increased by 57.9% from 1990 to 2014, of which 21% is known to be from the transportation sector. In line with policy development, driving forces to energy consumption and emissions may be determined using decomposition analysis techniques. However, the detail of information required to perform such studies for the transportation sector in developing countries can be challenging. An attempt was made in this study to formulate a decomposition analysis framework considering data availability and limitation in developing countries. Furthermore, a suggestion of adjusting transport activity data using average oil price was proposed. An illustrative case study in the Philippines revealed that the most significant driver was transport activity, followed by energy intensity, and then population growth, which was both similar and contrary to all previous studies performed in developed and rapidly urbanizing countries, which pointed out to transport activity as the primary contributing force. For the Philippines, transport activity was an inhibiting force, whereas energy intensity was the primary contributing factor. The difference could be explained by the differences in mode shares and quality of life between countries. Looking at private vehicle ownership data, it is observed that growth rates are higher in the rural, than in the urban centers. Deriving from the findings, developing a comprehensive public transport plan is recommend for future growth areas, expansion and modernization of public transport services in the city, and strategic deployment of transport policies.

What drivers will influence biomass allocation

Jinguang HU, William James CADHAM, Susan van DYK, Jack N. SADDLER

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering 2017, Volume 4, Issue 4,   Pages 473-481 doi: 10.15302/J-FASE-2017168

Abstract: Potential competition for biomass for current and future bioenergy/biofuel uses in Brazil, Denmark, Sweden and the USA were compared. In each of these countries, bioenergy and biofuels are already important in their energy mix. However, there is limited competition for biomass between bioenergy (heat/power/residential/industrial) and transportation biofuel applications. This situation is likely to continue until advanced biofuel technology becomes much more commercially established. In each of these countries, biomass is predominantly used to produce bioenergy, even in those regions where biofuels are significant component of their transportation sector (Brazil, Sweden and USA). The vast majority of biofuel production continues to be based on sugar, starch and oil rich feedstocks, while bioenergyis produced almost exclusively from forest biomass with agricultural biomass having a small, but increasing, secondary role. Current and proposed commercial scale biomass-to-ethanol facilities almost exclusively use agriculture derived residues (corn stover/wheat straw/sugarcane bagasse). Competition for biomass feedstocks for bioenergy/biofuel applications, is most likely to occur for agricultural biomass with coproduct lignin and other residues used to concomitantly produce heat and electricity on site at biofuel production facilities.

Antimicrobial use in food animal production: situation analysis and contributing factors

Ziping WU

Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering 2018, Volume 5, Issue 3,   Pages 301-311 doi: 10.15302/J-FASE-2018207

Abstract:

By measuring the quantity and ways in which antimicrobials are used, and reviewing different technical and socioeconomic factors influencing antimicrobial use at farm level, this study discusses the main knowledge gaps in antimicrobial use in food animal production and provides recommendations for future research and policy development. The review reveals that antimicrobial use in food animals exhibit strong regional and species differences, and there are still large information gaps concerning the current state of antimicrobial use. Factors associated with animal health (including antimicrobial resistance), animal health improvement, economic costs and benefits relevant to animal diseases, and potential technological alternatives or alternative systems all have an impact on antimicrobial use on the farm. There is a clear need to resolve the data gap by monitoring antimicrobial use and developing an analytical framework to better understand farmer behaviors under different technical, economic and environmental circumstances.

Drivers of the development of global climate-change-mitigation technology: a patent-based decomposition

Liying SONG, Jun JING, Kerui DU, Zheming YAN

Frontiers in Energy 2021, Volume 15, Issue 2,   Pages 487-498 doi: 10.1007/s11708-021-0739-y

Abstract: The development of the climate-change-mitigation technology has received widespread attention from both academic and policy studies. Nevertheless, very few studies have explained how and why economies contribute differently to global development. This paper decomposed the development of the global climate-change-mitigation technology, proxied by patent-based indicators, from 1996 to 2015 into several predefined factors. The results show that the worldwide surge of climate-change-mitigation-technology patents from 1996 to 2011 is driven by increased concentration on green invention, improved research intensity, and enlarged economic scale, while the falling of patent counts from 2011 to 2015 is predominantly due to less concentration on green invention. Among different climate-change-mitigation technologies, the type-specific development is attributed to different dominant factors, and the resulting priority change can reflect the shift of both global research and development (R&D) resource and market demand. Regarding regional contributions, the resulting economy-specific contributions to each driving factor can be used to design the policies to promote the development of the global climate-change-mitigation technology.

Analysis and Prospect of the Pharmaceutical Industry Development Trend in China

Strategic Study of CAE 2023, Volume 25, Issue 5,   Pages 1-10 doi: 10.15302/J-SSCAE-2023.05.003

Abstract:

The pharmaceutical industry is vital for safeguarding people’s lives and health. This study is based on a macro perspective and provides a comprehensive and in-depth comparison regarding the development trends of the pharmaceutical industry in China and abroad. It is pointed out that the global market size and strategic position of the pharmaceutical industry in various countries are constantly improving. Meanwhile, the development prospects of China’s pharmaceutical industry are broad, and the potential market space is large. On this basis, we further review and explore the driving factors behind the stable and rapid development of China’s pharmaceutical industry in recent years, which include demographic changes, global economic instability, and continuous investment from innovative entities such as governments and enterprises. Moreover, from the perspective of patients, we propose the challenges faced by the pharmaceutical industry in five aspects: precision, safety, timeliness, affordability, and policy guarantee. Furthermore, targeted policy recommendations are proposed to focus on building and maintaining a refined large-scale population cohort and data platform, sorting out China’s cutting-edge technology fields, promoting the industrialization of pharmaceutical research and development, improving multi-level medical security channels, and  enhance the full chain of policy protection and the implementation efficiency, thus to provide a reference for subsequent investment, policy formulation, and development decisions for China’s pharmaceutical industry.
