2014-2-13 Greenhouse gas emissions - do carbon taxes work? Annegrete Bruvoll and Bodil Merethe Larsen* Statistics Norway Abstract During the last decade, Norway has carried out an ambitious climate policy by implementing a relatively high carbon tax already in 1991. The Norwegian carbon taxes are among the highest in the world.
Read More2004-3-1 The effect of carbon taxes on these emission-reducing components has been small. The model simulations indicate that the carbon tax contributed to a reduction in emissions of 2.3 percent. Also, the effect of the carbon taxes in Norway is strongly dominated by the Norwegian oil and gas sector.

Read More2018-11-8 But do carbon taxes work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions? The evidence is underwhelming and support for the proposal is not down to altruism, says Paul Griffin of the University of California, Davis. In his view, what would impact climate change is for energy companies to disclose their carbon risks and footprints.

Read More2021-11-28 Research shows that putting a price on carbon-based fuels, in the form of a fee or tax, can be an effective way of reducing GHG emissions and pollution levels across the globe. By placing higher taxes on carbon-based fuels, households and industries can reduce the level of pollution and look to alternatives like solar power and hydrogen engines, which have lower impacts on the environment.
Read More2021-11-27 A. Emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are changing the climate. A carbon tax puts a price on those emissions, encouraging people, businesses, and governments to produce less of them. A carbon tax’s burden would fall most heavily on energy-intensive industries and lower-income households. Policymakers could use the ...
