- Comprehensive Tracking of Taxation and Pricing: The Carbon Pricing and Energy Taxation database monitors developments in energy taxation and carbon pricing across 79 countries, which collectively account for approximately 82% of global greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. It integrates data on carbon taxes, emissions trading systems (ETS), and energy taxes, providing a common methodology for cross-country comparability.
- Effective Carbon and Energy Rates: The database calculates key metrics, including the Effective Carbon Rate (ECR) and Effective Energy Rate (EER), which quantify the cost of emissions and energy use, respectively. These rates account for taxes, subsidies, and allowances, offering insights into the financial implications of carbon pricing and energy taxation for different sectors and energy sources.
- Data Accessibility and Updates: The database is updated annually, with data available in two-year increments, providing both preliminary and final data sets. It includes detailed information on policy instruments, effective rates, and sectoral coverage, aiding policymakers in tracking progress and identifying opportunities for reform in energy taxation and carbon pricing strategies.
