China to levy carbon tax before 2015 January 5, 2012 By James Handley China to Levy Carbon Tax By 2015 (Reuters)
John Robertson says January 9, 2012 at 5:54 am Your website very helpfully makes a clear distinction between a tax rate per ton of carbon and per ton of CO2. Most writers are not so scrupulous. For the Chinese 2015 tax, commentators seem almost equally split between saying it will be $1.55 per ton of carbon or per ton of CO2. My guess is that it per ton of carbon but can you give a definitive answer please?
