That means that in some cases the removal of subsidies causes a switch to more emissions-intensive coal. Some of the models used even suggested a rise in emissions for some regions, such as Africa and India, as a result of switching from unsubsidized oil and gas to coal. The reason for this small overall effect is two-fold.
