Subsidies to Liquid Transport Fuels: A comparative review of estimates

This review examines the available data and methodologies used to quantify subsidies for biofuels and conventional transport fuels, noting a significant lack of consistent information.

• There is a lack of consistent data and information regarding subsidies for both conventional transport fuels and biofuels, and existing global estimates are limited.
• The document concludes that the development of robust national estimates is a prerequisite for any further evaluation of subsidies.
• While there is a growing body of literature on energy subsidies, very few organizations have attempted to quantify the specific levels of these subsidies.
