Can phasing out fossil fuel subsidies help achieve net-zero emissions?

Phasing out fossil fuel subsidies can reallocate funds to clean energy infrastructure. Achieving net-zero emissions through energy transformation necessitates a multifaceted strategy, including removing energy supply chain subsidies, accelerating energy transitions, and deploying clean energy technologies.

How can energy transformation and energy subsidy management help the world?

Integrating electricity into transportation systems enables emission reductions and energy efficiency enhancements to create stable infrastructure. The world faces a critical challenge in transforming its economy into a zero-emission system . Energy transformation and energy subsidy management are combined to fulfil this objective .

Should government subsidies be aimed at transformative technologies?

Governments should aim their subsidy strategies toward transformative technologies like green hydrogen and advanced energy storage systems because this approach supports innovation and builds diversified power systems.

How do government subsidies affect energy production?

Concept and theoretic understanding Governments and other entities use financial support through energy subsidies to lower energy costs, which strongly influences energy production activities, consumption levels, and conservation efforts.

Can energy subsidies speed up the transition to low-carbon power systems?

Combining investment innovations with deployment facilitates clean energy demonstrators in speeding up the transition to low-carbon power systems . The research addresses the fundamental issue regarding how energy subsidies affect energy transformations toward achieving net-zero emissions.

Do energy price subsidies help the poor?

Energy price subsidies are an ineficient way of supporting the poor as they tend to disproportionately benefit the better-of households. As illustrated in the case studies on Ukraine and Indonesia, distributional analyses revealed that a significant share of the pre-reform subsidies was accruing to wealthy households.
