Norway introduced the CO2 taxes in 1991. The CO2 tax on mineral products applies to mainland activities and is levied on the use of mineral oil (including auto diesel), petrol, natural gas and LPG. It also applied to coke and coal up until January 2003.
Installations included in the EU ETS are exempt from the CO2 tax on mineral oil and are subject to a reduced CO2 tax rate on natural gas and LPG. The general tax rates in 2013 are 0.61 NOK per litre of mineral oil, 0.46 NOK per Sm3 of natural gas and 0.68 NPK per kg of LPG. A higher tax rate applies to domestic aviation not covered by the EU ETS (0.71 NOK per litre in 2013).
