About this Dataset

Net Effective Energy Rates

The Effective Energy Rate (EER) is the sum of fuel excise taxes, carbon taxes, electricity excise taxes and tradeable permits that effectively put a price on energy use. The Net EER equals the EER minus fossil fuel and electricity subsidies that decrease pre-tax energy prices. Electricity excise taxes and subsidies generally do not treat fossil fuels in a differential manner compared to clean sources and are therefore excluded from the Net ECR indicator.

Companion dataset to the OECD Series on Carbon Pricing and Energy Taxation.

The "Pricing Greenhouse Gas Emissions 2024: Gearing Up to Bring Emissions Down" report tracks how explicit carbon prices, energy taxes and subsidies that lower pre-tax prices on emissions or energy products have evolved between 2021 and 2023 across 79 countries, covering approximately 82% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Explicit carbon prices, energy taxes and subsidies are detailed by country, sector, product and instrument. The use of a common methodology ensures comparability across countries. Summary indicators facilitate cross country comparisons and allow policy makers and the public to keep track of progress made and identify opportunities for reform..
