There has long been a debate about
climate-damaging subsidies in the
German transport sector, and the financial
restrictions resulting from
the Federal Constitutional Court’s
budget judgement at the end of
2023 have intensified the debate.
This dossier is the first to convert the
level of subsidies in the transport
sector into negative CO2 prices to
present a scientific categorisation of
their significance for climate policy.
The concept of implicit negative CO2
prices shows the extent to which subsidies
implicitly reward citizens for
emitting a tonne of CO2, rather than
paying for the emissions.
