focused on energy taxation, seeking to comparatively analyze its
elements, contributing to the greening of the Brazilian tax system. To
this purpose, a parallel is drawn between the legal systems of the two
countries, analyzing the constitutionality of ecologically earmarked
taxes on energy (Ökosteuern), which in Germany were introduced by
the 1999 tax reform. Under Brazilian law, CIDE-Combustível’s (fuel
tax) is scrutinized in its role as starting point for the greening of the
tax system. The adopted method is deductive and suggestive in the
context of comparative law. The study showed that the constitutional
admissibility of the Ökosteuern in Germany was much debated and
these were approved much more for political than legal reasons. In
Brazil, the introduction of this taxation model depends inevitably on
an amendment to the Constitution. However, important similarities are
found between the German model and the CIDE-Combustível’s model
