Greater reliance on energy taxation is needed to strengthen efforts to tackle the principal source of both greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, according to a new OECD report. Taxes are effective at cutting harmful emissions from energy use, but governments could make better use of them. —“Taxing Energy Use 2018”.

in 2019, according to latest official data published by the European Environment Agency (EEA). The large decline in emissions, achieved before the COVID-19 crisis, was mainly due to reduced coal use for power generation. Total greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union (EU) decreased by 3.8% from 2018 to 2019.

The energy companies also agreed to encourage others across the natural gas value chain—from production to the final consumer—to do the same. Numerous studies have shown the importance of quickly reducing methane emissions if we’re to meet growing energy demand and multiple environmental goals.

His open-access paper is published in the journal Energy and Environmental Science. Even if you have 100 percent capture from the capture equipment, it is still worse, from a social cost perspective, than replacing a coal or gas plant with a wind farm because carbon capture never reduces air pollution and always has a capture equipment cost.

A large part of this potential comes from six relatively standardized categories: solar and wind energy; efficient appliances; efficient passenger cars; afforestation and stopping deforestation. The report also covers an assessment of the potential contribution from reductions in short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs).
