Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A two-part emission charge means changing different rates at different emission levels of a single pollutant. This means that higher emitters of the pollutant would be charged more, while lower emitters would be charged less. This is a way to incentivize companies to reduce their emissions and move towards cleaner production.
