Decontamination costs from gasoline consumption in Germany for the period 2005-2020 and future prospects

Abstract

Gasoline contributes to part of the air pollution through carbon dioxide emissions resulting from its consumption, which all countries of the world are exposed to, which leads to an increase in the costs of removing pollution caused by these emissions, and therefore this requires the development of solutions in the short and long term and the adoption of appropriate measures to reduce the rates pollution. Among the most important conclusions reached by the research is the high costs of those emissions in 2018 to reach (3994.8 million dollars), which is the highest value for the costs over the period from 2005-2020. A dangerous indicator of the high volume of environmental and economic damage, which calls for the need for economics to intervene in environmental issues and protect it from air pollution by using * fiscal policy, especially when imposing a carbon tax and other transportation taxes.
