Since hydrogen and electricity are well suited for carrying carbon low energy, the production of hydrogen and electricity could increase. Carbon tax#EffectOnEnergy conversion 0 The higher fossil fuel prices result in a shift towards less carbon-intensive energy carriers and (assuming a higher overall energy price) more energy efficiency. There can also be changes in end-use technologies ( e.g. electric cars in the transport sector, blast furnaces with CCS to produce iron and steel). Carbon tax#EffectOnEnergy demand 0 The energy supply will change from the use of carbon intensive energy carriers to the use of low/zero carbon energy carriers. Carbon tax#EffectOnEnergy supply 0 In the climate policy component, the carbon tax leads to emission reductions via Marginal Abatement Cost (MAC) curves derived from the TIMER model. Carbon tax#EffectOnClimate policy 0 Carbon tax#EffectOnEmissions 0 Induces a transition from carbon intensive fuels to carbon low fuels, thereby also lowering outdoor air pollution.
