Study explores impact of changing gasoline and diesel taxes in Europe

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 27, 2013

Diesel is currently taxed at a lower level than gasoline in Europe; however, since 2011 the EC has been considering reversing that situation by making energy taxes systematically reflect the CO 2 performance of the energy product. A scheme including a decreased gasoline tax could bring about an increase in CO 2 emissions.

The existing emissions trading system in Europe has not worked well, Paltsev says, partly because its price on carbon is quite low, and partly because it does not encompass enough different emissions-producing sectors of the economy. —Sergey Paltsev. Paltsev, S., Henry Chen, YH., Karplus, V.

There are also unanswered questions about how to even finance electrification or road construction and maintenance given lost revenues from fuels taxes, Foss said. In an era of unparalleled geopolitical friction, how China’s dominance will affect emissions reduction goals in places like the United States and Europe remains to be seen.

Sterner is also the editor of the new book Fuel Taxes and the Poor, The Distributional Effects of Gasoline Taxation and Their Implications for Climate Policy , authored by 35 researchers. The researchers studied data from 25 different countries to investigate the concern that gasoline taxes affect poor people the most.

This case assumes sufficient subsidy for widespread adoption of the lowest-emission vehicle, fuel, and capacity technology combination in each category. In addition to R&D and infrastructure support, government spending of at least 2% of EU27 GDP would be required in subsidies and to compensate for lost fuel tax revenue.
