for businesses

(note: this scheme will be most beneficial for businesses when it is not restricted only to transportation but is also applied to residential energy usage)


  • It will lead to extra demand for newer and more efficient products, increasing the rewards for innovation that cuts down energy usage and emissions. Especially if the system gets applied to electricity and heating, the system will make viable and more attractive many investments which would perhaps be put off otherwise. It basically makes it more profitable to save, and more expensive not to do so.

  • It will reward innovative companies who supply these more efficient products

  • It will create a new group of financial products and attached business opportunities.

  • It will mean that the population shares more of the burden of decreasing emissions, instead of demanding businesses to do it alone.
