poision:
First, a low starting tax rate combined with a low rate of growth in the tax rate will not reduce emissions significantly. Second, the costs of GHG reductions are reduced with the inclusion of non-CO2 gases in the carbon tax scheme. Third, welfare costs of the policies can be affected by the rate of growth of the tax, even after controlling for cumulative emissions.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions

So BASF says it is to reduce its specific greenhouse gas emissions per metric ton of product sold by 25% compared with 2002. Not sure over what timeframe, but does anybody know how this compares with other companies' efforts?
