Economic Stimulation to Reduce Vehicle CO2 Emissions

Abstract
Abstract. One of the major problems associated with the negative environmental impact of vehicles is the significant level of CO2 emissions produced by the combustion of motor fuel. The increasing emissions of CO2 are associated both with the global environment change and depletion of natural resources, thus creating an integrated environmental-economic challenge to modern human society. The aim of this work is to improve the mechanism of economic stimulation to reduce CO2 emissions from vehicles. The authors identified two main directions of reducing CO2 emissions by vehicles - improving the fuel efficiency of cars using traditional motor fuels, and the application of alternative fuels and energy. The key directions of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by vehicles have been revealed, among which in the conditions of Russia the priority should be to stimulte the production and consumption of more environmentally friendly fuels. The authors determined instruments of reducing CO2 emissions from vehicles differentiated by responsible parties and methods of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by vehicles. The proposed instruments make it possible to increase the efficiency of the use of motor fuels, as well as to reduce the consumption of fuel and energy resources. The authors have substantiated the necessity to complement the existing system of taxation of petroleum products through the introduction of a new tax, which takes into account the level of CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. The authors have substantiated a methodological approach to the tax calculation based on the dependence of vehicle CO2 emissions on the qualitative characteristics of consumed fuel. The proposed methodological approach can be used by the government to improve the current tax system to encourage enterprises in the oil refining industry to produce fuels with lower specific CO2 emissions during combustion.
