Taxes to influence energy use in road transportation in Australia

Abstract: Abstract. The desire to achieve a shift towards renewable energy will be difficult to achieve without a change in the energy use in road transportation in Australia. The transport sector in Australia is heavily reliant on oil and is responsible for contributing 18.1%, of Australia's annual greenhouse gas emissions. This paper examines the current Australian tax policy and its inability to make an impact on transport choices that would reduce energy use and emissions and promote alternative energy use. Some of … Show more

“…The FCP seems to have a significant impact on CO 2 emissions in Model 1. This result is also consistent with those of other researchers, which reported domination of fuel consumption in the road transportation sector for the case of Australia [37] and Spain [38]. This is explained by the fact that petrol dominated energy consumption accounting for almost 70% of the total fuel consumption [3].…”

“…Considering the rapid growth of installed RE generation capacity in recent years, the desired direction for this indicator is POSITIVE. Level of electrification of transportation : A report on Australian energy in 2019 indicates that transport accounts for approximately 28% of Australian energy consumption in recent years [46]. The heavy reliance on fossil fuels results in the transportation sector contributing approximately 18% of Australia's annual greenhouse gas emissions [47]. However, the higher level of transport electrification means higher reliance on the electricity supply, which makes the electricity cost an influential factor to electrification.…”
