This page hosts Paul Bleasdale’s MSc dissertation, which explores whether a fixed internal carbon fee could help the UK reach net zero emissions by 2050. The dissertation can be read online as a page-by-page flipbook or downloaded in full as a PDF or Word document. The research examines how internal carbon pricing influences investment decisions, compares fixed fees with other carbon pricing approaches, and considers how the funds raised can be ring-fenced for emissions reduction projects. The findings informed the design of WeZero’s free Internal Carbon Fee tool, which lets any organisation model a fee against its own emissions and forecast the fund it would generate.
