Producer Accountability for Carbon Emissions

To meet #NetZero by 2050, #fossilfuel producers must take responsibility for the #carbon #pollution that results from their products and activities.

[Producer Accountability for Carbon Emissions @PACEmissions]

TODAY: New research in @IOPenvironment models Extended Producer Responsibility on the #fossilfuel industry. #IPCC says to limit #warming to 1.5C we have to store #carbon. Producers, not taxpayers, should pay for this! #CarbonTakeback #climatechange https://t.co/dDROAy5rnc

"Regulation would finally make a business case for curtailing net #carbonemissions, a task for which the technology exists but has not been meaningfully deployed." #CarbonTakeback #climatechange #oilandgas https://t.co/uXzyBdOLhM @njdotcom

[Producer Accountability for Carbon Emissions @PACEmissions]

"Governments must establish a requirement that if producers extract #carbon from the earth, they must capture and store an equivalent amount." #CarbonTakeback #CCS @HughHelferty @njdotcom https://t.co/2Id82NSpcC

My latest article: "Despite overwhelming evidence of harm, it took government regulation for oil companies to phase out [leaded gasoline]. It is increasingly urgent that governments do the same for the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere."

@HughHelferty 's newest article: "One-hundred years on, the [leaded gasoline] disaster should teach us a serious lesson: The burden of proof for product safety must fall on the producer."

It’s time for Big Oil to PAY for their lies, disinformation, and pollution.

Fossil fuel companies make tremendous profits off of products that cause GHG emissions and should be the ones to take responsibility for these emissions, write @HughHelferty and Jessica Nacheman of @PACEmissions. https://t.co/7rvUDkTiuv

[Right to Zero New York @RightToZeroNY]

A former ExxonMobil leader shares: to avert the climate crisis, "governments need to step up and stop going easy on the industry."

It is on our lawmakers to ensure the transition away from fossil fuels by passing robust climate laws. No more delays.

OPINION: "The [oil] industry brands itself as caring about climate change. That’s fiction. I should know. I worked in the industry for over 30 years," writes Hugh Helferty. https://t.co/UczEhDSWYO

[Producer Accountability for Carbon Emissions @PACEmissions]

Our co-founder @HughHelferty just published this hard-hitting piece in @sfchronicle: "If we don’t stop these [#oil] companies, they are going to drive the planet and all of us on it over a cliff — all in the name of shareholder profit." #ClimateCrisis https://t.co/1I4rSiuIZj

The burgeoning idea of forcing fossil fuel producers to “take back” their carbon could guarantee net zero, force polluters to pay for solutions and speed up the energy transition.

“A carbon takeback obligation sends a signal to the producer and the consumer that less production and less consumption would be better.”

@shannonosaka @washingtonpost Here’s a thought. Stop Willow and enact Producer accountability or carbon takeback obligations. That can reduce emissions and speed replacement of fossil fuels with alternatives @PACEmissions. No free lunch for fossil fuels.

[Hugh Helferty @HughHelferty]

.@PACEmission Co-Founder Jane Savage and Advisor Myles Allen (@OxfordNetZero) talk #CarbonTakeback with @CIBCCM. It's time to enforce extended producer responsibility!

#CarbonTakeback Obligation featured in @FT , by @pilitaclark: "As governments grapple with the cost of living aftershocks, plus rising climate change concerns, there are predictable demands for tougher windfall taxes [for oil companies]. But is that really the only option?"

[FT Energy @ftenergy]

Windfall taxes are not the only option for fossil fuel profits https://t.co/InZ60US3CA

[margriet kuijper @MargrietKuijper]

New paper out today shows how a Carbon Takeback Obligation can help reach net zero on time.

Good article by @fionaharvey

An Oxford paper published today calls for fossil fuel to “take back” the carbon dioxide emitted from their products and activities.

[Hugh Helferty @HughHelferty]

Extended Producer Responsibility, including policy like the #CarbonTakeback Obligation, holds #fossilfuel producers accountable. They must pay to clean up #CO2. This policy works best with strong demand-side policy to ensure that we meet #climate goals. https://t.co/JJr4sOI3X4
