Abstract

This study investigates the impact of carbon taxes on fossil fuel extraction in 13 Asian developing economies from 2000 to 2022. The results affirm that a 1% increase in environmental tax revenues correlates with a notable long-term reduction of 0.16% in extraction. Notably, a 1% increase in patent applications reveals an unexpected connection, manifesting as a 0.9% short-term increase and a 0.19% long-term rise in fossil fuel extraction. A 1% increase in green power generation is associated with a short-term reduction of 0.28% and a long-term reduction of 0.32% in fossil fuel extraction. Sustainable utility imports contribute to a decrease in extraction, while urban population growth amplifies it in both the short and long term, highlighting the importance of sustainable urban planning. To promote environmentally friendly fossil fuel extraction, Asian developing economies can implement an effective carbon taxation system that includes standardized carbon reporting, carbon auditing AI systems, and robust big data analysis.
