Select non-OECD countries
In 2020-2021, in response to the COVID 19 pandemic, governments in Select non-OECD countries have committed at least USD 206.14 billion to supporting different energy types through new or amended policies, according to official government sources and other publicly available information. These public money commitments include:
- At least USD 54.37 billion for unconditional fossil fuels through 101 policies (44 quantified and 57 unquantified)
- At least USD 9.05 billion for conditional fossil fuels through 14 policies (6 quantified and 8 unquantified)
- At least USD 3.57 billion for unconditional clean energy through 56 policies (22 quantified and 34 unquantified)
- At least USD 58.87 billion for conditional clean energy through 30 policies (12 quantified and 18 unquantified)
- At least USD 80.28 billion for other energy through 72 policies (18 quantified and 54 unquantified)
By energy type, Select non-OECD countries committed at least USD 23.32 billion to oil and gas (at least USD 22.48 billion to unconditional oil and gas and at least USD 837.27 million to conditional oil and gas).
In addition, Select non-OECD countries committed at least USD 36.10 billion to coal (at least USD 28.51 billion to unconditional coal and at least USD 7.59 billion to conditional coal).
Further, no public money commitments identified for hydrogen based on fossil fuels.
Finally, Select non-OECD countries committed at least USD 3.13 billion to multiple fossil fuels (at least USD 3.13 billion to unconditional multiple fossil fuels).
A considerably larger amount of public money committed to supporting the economy and people of Select non-OECD countries through monetary and fiscal policies in response to the crisis may also benefit different elements of the energy sector. However, these values are not available from official legislation and statements and therefore are not included in the database. Meanwhile, in addition to monetary and fiscal measures, the database lists other policies and regulations that can also provide benefits to producers and consumers of different energy types.
These public money commitments are additional to many other government policies that had existed to support different energy types before the COVID19 pandemic.

However, he resisted growing calls for a raising of the licence-exemption threshold for distributed projects at mines, smelters, factories and farms from 1 MW to 50 MW, indicating instead that the cap would be increased to only 10 MW. This despite arguments that a liberalisation of South Africa’s convoluted licensing regime was the cheapest and quickest way to unlock at least 5 000 MW of new capacity within five years. | https://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/mantashe-offers-electricity-procurement-update-2021-03-18 |

The bill seeks to amend the Mines and Mineral (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957, and would bring in mega reforms in the sector with resolution in legacy issues, thereby making a large number of mines available for auctions. It is expected to strengthen the auction-only regime and boost transparency in the system. The reforms as part of the bill include removing the distinction between captive and non-captive mines and introduction of an index-based mechanism by developing a National Mineral Index (NMI) for various statutory payments, among others. In order to boost exploration, there will be review of functioning of the National Mineral Exploration Trust (NMET). NMET will be made an autonomous body. Private entities will also be engaged in exploration works now.

The Notices are part of the the alignment of regulations required for the effective implementation of national environmental management legislation in terms of the One Environmental System. They will also contribute to the expansion of the country’s alternate energy mix as the country works towards a reduction in the reliance on coal for energy. The publication in the government gazette of the development corridors for strategic gas transmission pipeline infrastructure, and large scale wind and solar photovoltaic energy facilities follows an extended public consultation period on the proposed Renewable Energy Development Zones and improved Environmental Impact Assessment processes in 2020. Amendments to the procedures to apply for, and for decisions on, Environmental Authorisations (EA) for the development of alternative energy initiatives in what is known as the Renewable Energy Development Zones (REDZ) have also been published for implementation. The EA process has been shortened to allow for a smoother implementation of alternate energy growth in South Africa. It is also because the proactive site sensitivity work has been completed through two two-and-a-half year Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) processes. These determined the environmental sensitivity of each of the zones and corridors. Renewable energy developments within identified zones in South Africa will require an environmental authorisation. | https://www.gov.za/speeches/environment-gazettes-geographical-areas-development-renewable-energy-10-mar-2021-0000 |

This will incentivize them to improve efficiency. The emission trading scheme (ETS) will initially only cover the thermal power industry, which last year accounted for about 40% of China’s emissions. That sector in of itself is responsible for twice the emissions of the EU carbon market, until now the world’s biggest. The ETS scheme does not put a cap on carbon emissions though. Rather, it imposes carbon intensity limits for every unit of electricity a power plant generates. Operators whose plants are below the benchmark will be able to sell their carbon credits and those that go beyond the threshold will need to buy additional credits. | https://www.climatechangenews.com/2021/01/07/china-launches-worlds-largest-carbon-market-power-sector/ |

As a result, Federal Law of 15 October 2020 # 321-FZ "On Amendments to Part Two of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation" introduces a "reverse excise tax" (deduction) on ethane and LPG which will depend on the volume of investments in petrochemical facilities. Companies will be eligible for the compensation only if they sign a special agreement with the Ministry of Energy and invest in new or modernized facilities from 1 January 2022. The financial and economic feasibility assessment prepared by the State Duma's Budget and Tax Committee estimates the size of the compensation to companies at RUB 10.4 billion in 2022, RUB 14.5 billion in 2023 and RUB 15.5 billion in 2024.

The first one cancels the export tax relief on superviscous oil. The second law abolishes certain Mineral Extraction Tax (MET) reliefs on mature deposits as well as MET reliefs on superviscous oil. The third law offsets some of the increased tax burden on companies by providing a MET relief on oil extraction at certain newly developed fields in the Khanty-Mansiisk disctrict of Western Siberia, e.g. the giant Priobskoe field developed by Rosneft, on the condition of the conclusion of an investment agreement by 1 July 2021.

| Russia | National | Fossil unconditional | Tax Code amendments raising the Additional Income Tax on oil and gas production | Resources | Oil and gas | Increased fossil fuel taxation | -1316208307.3296 | 15/10/2020 | Exploration or production or processing or storage or transportation | Federal Law of 15 October 2020 #342-FZ "On Amendments to Chapters 25-4 and 26 of Part Two of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation" | Government | To increase government revenue from upstream taxation oil oil and gas | 01/01/2021 | -94905200000 | "The new Federal Law # 342 “On Amendments to Chapters 25.4 and 26 of Part Two of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation" was approved on 15 October 2020 and came into force on 1 January 2020. It increases the Additional Income Tax (AIT) on hydrocarbon extraction. The measure was passed in parallel with the so called "completion of the tax manouvre" of the upstream oil and gas sector, initiated several years ago, and adoption of some additional tax benefits for the upstream oil and gas industry in 2020 (e.g. Federal Laws #65, #340). So the cumulative effect is mixed. Independent estimates of the increased tax burden on the oil and gas extractive industry vary. For example, the Renaissance capital puts it at at RUB 260 billion for 2021, equivalent to 3.3% of the government’s tax take in 2019 from the Russian oil and gas sector. The tax burden is expected to increase mainly on LUKOIL, Surgutneftegaz and Tatneft, while "national champions" Rosneft and, to a lesser extent, Gazprom secured additional tax benefits in 2020 that help to mitigate the impact of these Tax Code Amendments. The most recent official document, namely the Explanory Note prepared by the State Duma's Budget and Tax Committee and accompanying the draft Federal Law on "Federal Budget for 2021 and Planned Period of 2022 and 2023" puts the overall increase in the federal budget revenue due to the Additional Income Tax on hydrocarbons at RUB 94,9052 billion in 2021 (Table 3.2 on page 40)." | " https://sozd.duma.gov.ru/bill/1023276-7 http://duma.gov.ru/news/49612/ http://sozd.duma.gov.ru/download/F26F5159-E060-41E7-A352-8E3B0EEBAC63 https://sozd.duma.gov.ru/bill/1027743-7" |
