How Carbon Taxes Are Reshaping Industry in 2026

Episode 55 of The Tax Policy Podcast examines how carbon taxes are driving real industrial change in 2026. Lucas and Luna walk through Canada's federal carbon pricing system, which now sits at 170 Canadian dollars per tonne, and how it has shifted investment decisions at companies like Lafarge and Daimler Truck. They discuss British Columbia's long-running carbon tax, the border adjustment mechanism being debated in the EU, and the surprising data on revenue recycling. The episode focuses on one concrete number: every 10-dollar increase in the carbon price correlates with a 1.5 percent drop in industrial emissions intensity in jurisdictions that recycle the revenue back to households. Specific, data-driven, and grounded in current policy debates. #CarbonTax #ClimatePolicy #Economics #TaxPolicy #CanadaCarbonPrice #BorderAdjustment #EUETS #BritishColumbia #Lafarge #DaimlerTruck #RevenueRecycling #IndustrialEmissions #TaxShift #GreenTax #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TaxPolicyPodcast #PolicyDebate Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
