摘要：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.
