摘要

环境问题,特别是气候变化,使人们认识到能源行业需要去碳化。世界范围内已经采取了一些政策,包括欧洲国家的高能源税。然而,与此同时,许多国家仍然存在能源贫困问题,而能源税只会加剧这一问题。考虑到这种情况,本研究建议在欧洲国家实施绿色税收改革,将能源税收用于缓解能源贫困。本文分析了欧盟成员国在一些相关变量方面的情况,如能源税收收入和能源贫困指标(无法充分保障家庭安全、家庭最终能源消耗低、拖欠水电费和电价)。结果显示,能源账单所需的总份额差异很大,从 5 % 到 40 % 不等。能源税收高且存在能源贫困的国家被确定为拟议改革的潜在候选国。研究发现,保加利亚、塞浦路斯、希腊、意大利、葡萄牙、罗马尼亚和斯洛伐克是改革的良好候选国。这种情况与低效的税收政策相结合,导致大量资金被转移到直接和间接的化石燃料以及对环境有害的补贴上。能源税回收计划的重点是利用能效措施减少能源消耗,例如,在公共能源服务计划下,如果与取消有害化石燃料补贴的新计划相结合,就可以优化组合,重新分配能源税收入,减少能源贫困,促进去碳化。

Energy taxes recycling as an instrument for the mitigation of the expenditure on energy products of vulnerable households in the European Union
Environmental problems, particularly climate change, have raised awareness of the need to decarbonize the energy sector. Several policies have been followed worldwide, including high energy taxes in European countries. However, simultaneously, many countries still suffer from energy poverty, and energy taxation only aggravates this problem. Considering this situation, this research proposes implementing green tax reform in European countries where energy tax revenues would be used to alleviate energy poverty. This article analyzes the situation of European Union Member States regarding some relevant variables such as energy tax revenues and energy poverty indicators (inability to keep the home adequately safe, low final energy consumption in households, arrears on utility bills, and electricity prices). The results show a significant variation in the total share required for energy bills, ranging from 5 % to 40 %. Countries with high energy tax revenues suffering from energy poverty are identified as potential candidates for the proposed reform. It was found that Bulgaria, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Romania, and Slovakia are good candidates for reform. This situation is combined with an inefficient tax policy, resulting in a large amount of money being transferred for direct and indirect fossil fuels and environmentally harmful subsidies. An energy tax recycling scheme focused on reducing energy consumption using energy efficiency measures, for example, under a scheme of Public Energy Services, can be optimally combined to redistribute the energy tax income to reduce energy poverty and contribute to decarbonization if combined with a new scheme that removes harmful fossil fuel subsidies.

期刊介绍: Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles examining the relationship between energy systems and society. ERSS covers a range of topics revolving around the intersection of energy technologies, fuels, and resources on one side and social processes and influences - including communities of energy users, people affected by energy production, social institutions, customs, traditions, behaviors, and policies - on the other. Put another way, ERSS investigates the social system surrounding energy technology and hardware. ERSS is relevant for energy practitioners, researchers interested in the social aspects of energy production or use, and policymakers. Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) provides an interdisciplinary forum to discuss how social and technical issues related to energy production and consumption interact. Energy production, distribution, and consumption all have both technical and human components, and the latter involves the human causes and consequences of energy-related activities and processes as well as social structures that shape how people interact with energy systems. Energy analysis, therefore, needs to look beyond the dimensions of technology and economics to include these social and human elements.
