| Abstract |
Biomass energy consumption has become a popular issue among policymakers in recent years due to its environmental repercussions. Biomass is one of the most common traditional easy sources of energy, a...nd various studies have demonstrated its effects to health and the economy. However, there is a paucity of evidence on the use of biomass energy to mitigate climate change. This study explores the relationship between biomass energy consumption and ecological footprint in Bazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) countries during the period of 1990-2017. For this purpose, we employed augmented mean group (AMG) panel data estimator addressing the heterogeneity and problem of cross-sectional dependency in the panel data series. The results indicate that biomass energy consumption raises the ecological footprint of the BRICS nations. Policies are proposed to reduce the negative impact of biomass energy on the environment based on these findings.show more
