The political parties are not enthusiastic about the government proposal on increasing the tax on air pollution from 180 DKK to 750 DKK per tonne.
- Radikale Venstre (B) and Enhedslisten (Ø) believe that the proposal is not ambitious enough and are against giving discounts to companies like Aalborg Portland (which is the largest emitter in the country).
- Venstre (V) is positive towards the government proposal and supports the discounts for companies that have a hard time making the green transition.
- Konservative (K) believes that if we raise the CO2 tax, then other taxes for companies need to be lowered. However, they criticize the large discount for the cement producer, Aalborg Portland.
