This white paper discusses the challenge of replacing fossil-fueled supply chains with less energy-intense renewable solutions whilst rapidly reducing the carbon in the atmosphere. It suggests that a complimentary currency, backed by carbon fees and pledges from landowners to sequester carbon using soil and biochar, could be the answer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Flexible emission fees<\/a><\/p>\n

Produced for the Swedish Sustainable Economy Foundation<\/a>, the paper describes a mechanism to change the economic rules for unwanted emissions. The mechanism, also called H\u00f6glunds mechanism after the inventor, calls for emission fees to be flexible, the higher the deviation from the reduction target, the higher the fee. The mechanism drives the market to respond and gradually removes the subsidy nations give to polluters. This gradual, controlled removal ensures sufficient business stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
