Green Car Congress

However, the study found that the growth of CO 2 emissions by 2030 would only be 1-5% lower than if subsidies had been maintained, regardless of whether oil prices are low or high. Developing economies which are not major oil and gas exporters would generally experience much smaller effects of removing the subsidies.
