post analysis of policies is founded on a closed theoretical model.We use the synthetic control method and build a control pool of OECD countries.We find that the tax has a significant impact on CO2traffic emissions in the UK.Results do not show discernible effects of the tax on GDP or ...
U.S. CO₂ emissions from energy consumption have fallen by approximately 20 percent since 2005. Sources of emissions in the U.S. The main source of CO₂ emissions in the U.S. is the transportation sector. For many years, the power sector was the country’s biggest contributor to CO...
Once you've decided on the type of car look at the different makes, models and engines available. Most models offer a range of engines that often vary in fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions. Consider whether you require a petrol or diesel engine, each has a different effect on the environment...
Carbon floor prices involve countries setting unilateral policies to establish a minimum price for carbon, for example by imposing an additional tax on CO2 emissions on top of the EU carbon price. If EU carbon prices continue to rise in line with some analysts' forecasts, this is likely to ...

It finds that the increased top tax rates would still be in line with those of other European OECD countries. Using recent and new research on income elasticities of CO2 emissions, it then estimates the net direct effects on CO2 emissions of this redistribution. For both scenarios the most ...
emissions. The VED increased the adoption of low-emissions vehicles and discouraged the purchase of very polluting vehicles, but it had a small effect on aggregate emissions. Using the empirical estimates, we compare the VED with two hypothetical taxes: a tax proportional to carbon emissions per ...
Concerns regarding petroleum depletion and global climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions have spurred interest in renewable alternatives to fossil fuels. Third-generation (3G) biorefineries aim to utilize microbial cell factories to convert re

The cement industry, an industry characterised by low margins, is responsible for approximately 7% of anthropogenic CO2 equivalent (CO2e) emissions and holds the highest carbon intensity of any industry per unit of revenue. To encourage complete decarbon
