Australia’s per capita CO 2 emissions are higher than those of the US due to an emissions-intensive energy sector. For the first three years, the carbon price will be fixed, before moving to an emissions trading scheme in 2015. Gillard said that by 2020, this would cut emissions by some 160 million tonnes per year.

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., Sterner is lead author in the UN climate panel’s (IPCC) working group Mitigation of Climate Change. —Thomas Sterner.

CO 2 emissions from transportation sector by scenario in the study. The dashed blue line is 2005 emissions; the scale on the right shows the percent of 2005 level. 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. Source: Morrow et al.

The obvious one is increased fuel taxes, but somehow governments need to make sure the benefits of better technology aren’t wiped out by increased demand for lower-priced fuel. The study did not analyze the impact of biofuels on emissions, consumption or pricing. Click to enlarge. Jos Dings, T&E Director.

Meanwhile, significant gains in vehicle fuel economy over the coming decades are possible and very much needed globally in order to address pressing issues of climate change, energy security and sustainable mobility. An alternative to a feebate that could raise similar revenue is raising fuel taxes by around $0.07
