In a move to make people reduce their consumption from using oil and gas energy, France will impose a levy on oil, gas and coal consumption by households and businesses from next year.

This Green Carbon Tax will be 17 Euro per ton of Carbon emission. While Sweden and Finland already have such taxes, France is now the largest developed economy to implement such a carbon tax.
