A CO2 capture solvent with exceptionally low total costs of capture

Does this include the carbon ultimately released from oil that was sold to other countries by Norway?

I would guess no. The buyer could be pumping it back in the ground for all the seller knows.

Requirement to sell "carbon neutral" oil to countries that do not have their own carbon capture rules would be an interesting idea.

Could as well add another tax for all the other nasty chemicals the refinement process releases.

Yeah, I’m afraid I don’t buy this reasoning...

As I understand it no, it only covers usage of oil and other fossil products.

On the one hand I absolutely agree that's ignoring a major CO2 source.

On the other hand, if Norway added the CO2 tax to exported fossil fuel but other countries did not, would that affect fossil fuel consumption in any meaningful way?
