Abstract

Klima-Förderungen Eine Analyse der Verteilung von öffentlichen Fördergeldern im Zuge der Dekarbonisierung This publication is available in German language only. For a brief English summary see further below. Diese Studie liefert eine deskriptive Analyse der Verteilung von klimaschutzrelevanten direkten staatlichen Förderungen (Klima-Förderungen) in Gesamtösterreich und im Bundesländervergleich, wobei bei letzterem Oberösterreich in den Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung rückt. Während es zur Analyse von Förderungen in Österreich bereits Arbeiten gibt, liefert unsere Studie erste Ergebnisse zur Verteilungsdimension von Klima-Förderungen. Wir verwenden Daten der Transparenzdatenbank unter Berücksichtigung von Sonderauswertungen durch die Statistik Austria für die Jahre 2021 und 2022. Die analysierten Daten beinhalten direkte Förderprogramme aus vier Kategorien erneuerbare Energie und Energieeffizienzmaßnahmen; Forschung und Klima; alternative Mobilität; und weitere Umwelt- und Klimaschutzmaßnahmen. Wir berichten die Förderungen nach Förderempfängerinnen und Förderempfängern (Personen, Unternehmen und gemeinnützige Organisationen/öffentliche Verwaltung) und nehmen eine Aufteilung der Personenförderungen nach Einkommensgruppen, Altersgruppen und Bildungsstand, sowie bei den Unternehmensförderungen nach Unternehmensumsatz, Anzahl der Mitarbeitenden und Unternehmensbranche vor. Climate subsidies An analysis of the distribution of public subsidies in the context of decarbonisation This study provides a descriptive analysis of the distribution of direct state subsidies relevant for climate protection (in short climate subsidies) in Austria as a whole and in a comparison of the states, with Upper Austria taking centre stage in the latter. While there is already work on analysing subsidies in Austria, our study provides the first results on the distributional dimension of climate subsidies. We use data from the transparency database, taking into account special analysis by Statistik Austria for the years 2021 and 2022. The data analysed includes direct funding programs from four categories renewable energy and energy efficiency measures; research and climate; alternative mobility; and other environmental and climate protection measures. We report the funding by recipients (individuals, companies and non-profit organisations/public administration). The climate subsidies received by persons are broken down by income group, age group and level of education. Funding received by companies is distinguished along the dimensions turnover, number of employees and company sector.
