CO2 Tax and Coal Combustion Byproduct Effects on Electricity Fuel Switching East Carolina University, United States of America Short and long-run price responsiveness of coal and natural demand is estimated using a 30-year panel of U.S. electricity plants. CO2 taxes are projected to reduce emissions by 31% to 40% and 46% to 64% in the short and long run, respectively. These reductions are primarily due to intensive margin changes in fuel demand rather than intra-plant fuel switching. Importantly, contracts to sell coal combustion byproducts are a deterrent to switching from coal to natural gas. Specifically, we find that contracts to sell coal combustion byproducts are worth roughly $20 million USD annually on average for coal-fired power plants. | |
