MPs Bjørn Arild Gram, Hans Andreas Limi, Nikolai Astrup, and Jørgen H. Kristiansen are calling on the government to postpone a new reduced CO2 tax for industries using natural gas or LPG in chemical reduction processes. The proposers argue the tax was announced with only two days' notice and no impact assessment, that no comparable European countries have such a tax, and that the EU's energy tax directive exempts these processes.
