Don't Subsidise Pollution
The New Zealand government is subsidising pollution in the form of free credits.
“Industrial allocations”, sometimes called “free allocations”, are carbon credits the government gives to certain ‘Emissions Intensive and Trade Exposed" businesses for free.
Multinationals like Rio Tinto and Methanex are part of a select few corporations who produce 10% of Aoteroa’s climate pollution and get a $600 million/year subsidy to offset their emissions.
For the background on "free allocations", and to sign the petition calling for an accelerated phase out of free industrial allocation in the Emissions Trading Scheme to end free credits by 2030 please visit the website below.
