Carbon tax estimates the cost of greenhouse gas emissions under a price-per-ton-CO₂ policy. It values environmental externalities.
Formel
Carbon tax = emissions (tonnes CO₂e) × tax rate ($/tonne)
Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung
- 1Carbon tax = emissions (tonnes CO₂e) × tax rate ($/tonne)
- 2Rates vary: $0-200/tonne CO₂e globally, ~$10-60 typical
- 3Encourages emission reduction and clean technology adoption
Gelöste Beispiele
Eingabe
Annual emissions 5 tonnes CO₂e, carbon tax $50/tonne
Ergebnis
Annual tax $250 (incentivizes reduction)
Makes clean energy attractive
Häufige Fehler vermeiden
- ✕Assuming carbon tax alone solves climate change (needs multiple policies)
- ✕Neglecting regressive impact on low-income households

How do carbon taxes compare to cap-and-trade?
Tax: fixed cost, uncertain reduction; cap-and-trade: fixed emissions, uncertain cost. Each has merits.
