Summary:

This paper updates estimates of fossil fuel subsidies, defined as fuel consumption times the gap between existing and efficient prices (i.e., prices warranted by supply costs, environmental costs, and revenue considerations), for 191 countries. Globally, subsidies remained large at $4.7 trillion (6.3 percent of global GDP) in 2015 and are projected at $5.2 trillion (6.5 percent of GDP) in 2017. The largest subsidizers in 2015 were China ($1.4 trillion), United States ($649 billion), Russia ($551 billion), European Union ($289 billion), and India ($209 billion). About three quarters of global subsidies are due to domestic factors—energy pricing reform thus remains largely in countries’ own national interest—while coal and petroleum together account for 85 percent of global subsidies. Efficient fossil fuel pricing in 2015 would have lowered global carbon emissions by 28 percent and fossil fuel air pollution deaths by 46 percent, and increased government revenue by 3.8 percent of GDP.

Fossil fuel subsidies top $5 trillion worldwide, fair pricing would have cut emissions 28%, study says

Phil Dzikiy - May. 9th 2019

The main recipients of these fuel subsidies are clear:

About three quarters of global subsidies are due to domestic factors—energy pricing reform thus remains largely in countries’ own national interest—while coal and petroleum together account for 85 percent of global subsidies.

Simply instituting fair pricing for fossil fuels would have massive environmental and health benefits, in addition to economic benefits:

Efficient fossil fuel pricing in 2015 would have lowered global carbon emissions by 28 percent and fossil fuel air pollution deaths by 46 percent, and increased government revenue by 3.8 percent of GDP.

A recent study from the European Heart Journal notes that air pollution, mostly from fossil fuels, now causes more deaths than smoking.

The study does not attempt to account for subsidies for non-fossil fuels, but a brief footnote in the full report is enlightening:

Renewables subsidies in power generation, for example, were $140 billion worldwide in 2016 according to IEA (2017). Note, however, that efficient fuel pricing would remove one of the key motivations for renewable energy subsidies.

Die mannen berekenen lucht. Het gaat duidelijk niet om concrete out of the pocket bedragen.

Wat wel concrete bedragen zijn, dat zijn de inkomsten die onze overheid int uit fossiele brandstoffen.
Voor ons land (in 2017) was dat een bedrag van 7,9 miljard €, echte en harde €'s die uit uw en mijn portefeuille gehaald werden.
Omgerekend naar Europa gaat het wellicht om een 300 a 350 miljard € inkomsten voor de overheid.

Dat is de keiharde realiteit.
