Linkage effects and environmental impacts from oil consumption industries in Taiwan

Article Abstract:

Inter-industry relationships and linkage effects between oil consumption and environmental quality in Taiwan were investigated using an integrated approach which includes input-output analysis, multiplier analysis, and cluster analysis. Fuel oil was found to have the greatest impact on the environment. Several industries were identified to cause pollution problems in Taiwan, including the power generation, paper, rubber, cement and textile industries. Energy and economic gains should be based on environmental policies.

A systems approach for the development of a sustainable community- the application of the sensitivity model (SM)

Article Abstract:

The approach of planning a sustainable community in terms of systems thinking is discussed by applying a systems tool, the sensitivity model (SM), to build a model of the development of the community of Ping-Ding, located adjacent to the Yang-Ming-Shan national Park, Taiwan. The results indicate that the development of Ping-Ding would be better served by the planning of agriculture and the tourism industry.

Devising an integrated methodology for analyzing energy use and CO(2) emissions from Taiwan's petrochemical industries

Article Abstract:

Multiplier analysis, input-output modeling and a consolidated index are used to evaluate the environmental impact of Taiwan's petroleum chemicals industry. These approaches quantify both energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, and show that the country's petroleum chemicals industry is a prime candidate for energy efficiency improvements and carbon dioxide emissions reductions.
