Producer Accountability for Carbon Emissions @PACEmissions

Big Oil says it’s working to reduce greenhouse gas emission. Not true trib.al/jKz2pdK

"A new headline tells us every day: The climate crisis is fast approaching the point of no return...Governments need to step up and stop going easy on the industry." @CalPERS and @CalSTRS, #divest from #FossilFuels. #SB252 @SenGonzalez_33 @HughHelferty sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

Big Oil's claim to support climate solutions only serves as a "marketing illusion" for its real goal: "making as much profit as possible by producing more oil and gas no matter the cost to the environment," writes former Exxon employee @HughHelferty. sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

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. sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

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. To find out more, read my latest feature for @EnergyMonitorAI 👇 energymonitor.ai/tech/carbon-re…

@JigarShahDC that's why we need to implement 'backstop policies' like a Carbon Takeback Obligation. We work hard to reach tipping points but historically tipping plateaus are the best we can hope for, so we ALSO need to reduce the net emissions of the remaining FF use! pacemissions.org

@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.

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

Professor Myles Allen of @UniofOxford and Jane Savage of Producer Accountability for Carbon Emissions joined Dominique Barker to discuss the Carbon Takeback Obligation for the safe and permanent disposal of CO2, and more. Listen to the episode here: cibccm.com/en/insights/po…

Fossil fuel producers need to take responsibility for all their emissions in order to fight #climatechange. With a #CarbonTakeback Obligation, fossil fuel companies will be held accountable for their pollution. Learn more at pacemissions.org/about/ctbo #ctbo

New paper out today shows how a Carbon Takeback Obligation can help reach net zero on time. Good article by @fionaharvey @janpaulvansoest @HughHelferty @myrtleboat Fossil fuel producers must be forced to ‘take back’ carbon, say scientists theguardian.com/environment/20…

An Oxford paper published today calls for fossil fuel to “take back” the carbon dioxide emitted from their products and activities. Full paper: doi.org/10.1088/1748-9… Article in @guardian: theguardian.com/environment/20…

I wholeheartedly support the idea of a carbon takeback obligation for fossil fuel producers. It simply applies the very sensible 'polluter pays' principle to carbon dioxide, a particularly devastating type of pollution. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Study: Making fossil fuel firms pay to clean up carbon could curb climate change independent.co.uk/climate-change…

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. pacemissions.org/2023/01/11/env…
