Abstract

The agricultural sector is one of the most important sectors in the economies of developing countries. In addition, due to environmental concerns, global demand for energy has moved toward fuels with less carbon content such as natural gas. This study examines the impact of six factors of the agricultural sector on CO2 emissions for a group of countries that are among the list of 94 natural gas producers. Using the Tobit Panel model for the 2006-2015 period, the results show that the agricultural export variable has the greatest positive effect on CO2 emissions. Furthermore, cultivating area, agricultural production, agricultural imports, value-added agriculture, and fertilizer use have an impact on CO2 emissions. A policy recommendation of this research is that the government can help protect the environment by adapting a clean technology strategy to reduce GHG emissions.
