tax carbon dioxide emissions by the Australian government is the main program by hitting its 2020 goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 5 percent below 2000 razini.Zemlje dependence on coal power plants, besides other factors, has made it the leading emitter of greenhouse gases among the all developed countries. As the whole world faces the threat of climate change, Australia is taking action as quickly as you can to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The main contribution to the carbon dioxide emissions are fossil fuels, including coal, oil and natural gas. Reducing the production and use of fossil fuels and increasing the supply and demand of energy from renewable sources are the main strategies Australije.Porez the carbon price of energy requires energy companies, including the country's 500 biggest polluters, to pay a specific amount for any given level of carbon dioxide they emit. These include large power plants, steel companies and miners. The last word of the Prime Minister, every company needs to pay about $ 24 for every ton of carbon dioxide emitted.
This tax on emissions of carbon dioxide is carried out mainly due to certain advantages that the government wants to increase. This tax can be implemented easily and stable incentive to reduce carbon emissions. Furthermore, it can be done in almost all industries and economies that can be adopted internationally. Germany, which is still a country that has the power stations which are said to contribute to the peak of pollution, has its own environmental taxes for more than 10 years and has recently implemented their environmental levy of air transport. It requires passengers boarding flights to Germany will be charged 8 EUR for domestic and intra-European short-haul flights, 25 euros for medium flights and EUR 45 for long flights. Austria is a country that has followed suit.
tax emissions of carbon dioxide can also be a source of income, because the government can complement this with a reduction in other taxes or carbon taxes to distribute funds to areas or households that are highly affected by the emissions. For example, Japan reduced the tax on green vehicles and set a new tax on coal as a means redoing energy taxes in response to the environmental problem of greenhouse gas emissions. Japan is also one of the least carbon-efficient energy companies in the world, Niihama Nishi.
countries are aware of the growing risks of climate change, due to its carbon dioxide emissions support this kind of tax schemes. Many, though opposed, because, first of all, it is a tax and means shelling out the money, or loss of profits. However, its advocates firmly believe that with proper education about the benefits of this tax, people will agree that it is a carbon tax on energy prices will be beneficial for everyone.
