Although increased gasoline taxation has been proposed as a very effective instrument to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a common argument against such a measure is that it is regressive—i.e., Petrol taxes are effective and actually don’t affect poor people disproportionally. it hits poor people the hardest.

Taxes are effective at cutting harmful emissions from energy use, but governments could make better use of them. In 2015, outside of road transport, 81% of emissions were untaxed, according to the report. Tax rates were below the low-end estimate of climate costs (EUR 30/tCO 2 ) for 97% of emissions. of emissions.

(Since some 36% of diesel is used off-road, such as on farms, by manufacturing, industrial and commercial ventures, and boats, a fuel tax for road use would impose an unfair burden onto these sectors, the government says.). This is equivalent to the two cent per liter increase in gasoline excise duty that will occur on the same day.

Economy-wide CO 2 prices of $30-60/t CO 2 are too weak on their own to motivate significant reductions in CO 2 emissions from transportation. The key to obtaining significant reductions in transportation-related GHG emissions is to increase the cost of driving.

The total cost of purchasing and driving one—the cost of ownership—has fallen nearly to parity with a typical gasoline-fueled car. But EVs come with important weaknesses, and so people shouldn’t count on them alone to do the job, even for the transportation sector. EVs have finally come of age.
