Shares of CO2 emissions from energy priced

The share of emissions priced indicator shows the share of CO2 emissions from energy within a country or sector with a carbon price that exceeds a certain level. The carbon price signal stems from the Effective Carbon Rate (ECR) - the sum of fuel excise taxes, carbon taxes and tradeable permits that effectively put a price on carbon emissions.

Companion dataset to Effective Carbon Rates (ECR). ECRs measure carbon pricing of CO2-emissions from energy use in more than 70 countries, including 45 OECD and G20 countries, covering over 80% of world emissions. The dataset provides a comprehensive view on carbon pricing, including fuel excise taxes, carbon taxes and tradable emission permit prices. For additional information, see the latest Effective Carbon Rates report. Annex A of the first publication of Effective Carbon Rates (OECD, 2016) provides a detailed description of the methodology for calculating ECRs.
