[...] une taxe sur la teneur en carbone du pétrole, du charbon et du gaz découragerait l'utilisation des combustibles fossiles et réduirait ainsi les émissions de dioxyde de carbone. Un certain nombre de pays industrialisés ont déjà tenté d'instaurer une taxe sur le carbone. De nombreux économistes estiment que cette taxe pourrait entraîner une réduction des émissions de CO2 à un coût minimum. Toutefois, comme les taxes laissent les particuliers et les entreprises libres de leur choix, elle ne garantit pas absolument que le niveau d'émissions prescrit sera atteint. Pour être efficace, la taxe doit être bien conçue et bien gérée. 2, record 15, French, - taxe%20sur%20les%20%C3%A9missions%20carboniques

Policies that preserve flexibility and diversity in supplying energy and that as far as possible avoid irreversible commitments to large-scale, long-term use of coal or oil shale may also be appropriate. Over the intermediate term, policies to encourage the substitution of less carbon-intensive fuels are appropriate for consideration by governments. Such policies might include(1) a "carbon tax" on fossil fuel use;(2) a system of marketable permits for CO2 or greenhouse gas emissions, tradeable on a regional basis or(3) incentives for the use of alternative non-fossil technologies. 3, record 16, English, - carbon%2Dintensive

Il faut bien prendre garde de ne pas confondre cette notion avec l'intensité énergétique : un combustible qui offre un bon rendement (énergie utilisée-travail produit) est qualifié de combustible à forte intensité énergétique; un combustible qui produit peu de rejets carboniques est qualifié de combustible à faible intensité carbonique. 2, record 16, French, - %C3%A0%20intensit%C3%A9%20carbonique
