The reduction obligation has soon played its role, the Environment Party believes.
Instead, MP wants to see a national emission rights system according to the same model that exists for heavy industry in the EU.
“Politics must steer towards a fair climate change,” says MP’s speech tube Amanda Lind at a press conference.
MP wants to see a system where companies buy emission rights from 2027. The money will then be able to be used to facilitate the climate change, where most will go to residents in rural and sparsely populated areas and households with small margins.
– Emissions trading is the most effective way to reduce emissions, says Amanda Lind.
– We are in an absurd position, where the government benefits the fossil industry instead of helping Swedish companies and households that want to change, says the speech tube Daniel Helldén.
The reduction obligation means that gasoline companies must mix in a certain amount of biofuel in gasoline and diesel to reduce emissions. It provides more expensive fuels and the MP representatives point out that it strikes hardest against those who do not have alternatives to the fossil car.
A system of emissions trading would give companies strong incentives to invest in what is good for the climate, says MP.
