Center Party wants to cut taxes on biofuels to keep fuel prices down

The Center Party wants to increase the amount of biofuel in gasoline and diesel without making refueling more expensive. The party proposes lowering taxes on biofuels mixed with fossil fuels.

If it were to become more expensive to refuel, C is ready to compensate by lowering the tax on the fossil part of the fuel.

"Reduced emissions and affordable prices at the pump do not have to be at odds with each other. By lowering the tax on renewable fuels, we make it easier for people to choose climate-smart options in their everyday lives," says Rickard Nordin, C's climate policy spokesman, in a written comment.

C also wants to introduce a "substantial electric car bonus to accelerate the electrification of the vehicle fleet".

The financing is intended to come through reprioritisation in the state budget and with EU funds.
