Energy taxes, environment and competitiveness

In Denmark, households pay higher energy taxes than industrial customers. The economic literature points to the fact that favouring industrial customers generates economic expenses. Akf has used a calculation model showing that levelling the energy taxes before the introduction of EU’s CO₂ quota market would give the Danes a total profit of about DKK 8 billion. On the other hand, this would cause an increase in CO₂ emissions in neighbouring countries.
