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. That means that in some cases the removal of subsidies causes a switch to more emissions-intensive coal. This is facilitated by today’s low oil prices.
