Inventory of estimated budgetary support and tax expenditures for fossil fuels : preliminary version / International Energy Agency. Paris : OECD, 2011, 355 p.Lien vers le rapport : http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/40/35/48805150.pdfThe report inventories 24 countries that account for 95% of the OECD’s primary energy supply, of which petroleum made up approximately 54%.
