About this data
Subsidies are pre-tax and for both the production and consumption of fossil fuels. Production subsidies reduce the cost of producing coal, oil or gas. Consumption subsidies cut fuel prices for the end user, such as by fixing the price at the petrol pump so that it is less than the market rate.
