The case
FORPollutant
surcharges
Stimulates investment in circular
technology
Creates jobs in the country with
nutrient recovery
Preparedness for future shortages
Infrastructure change takes time

The case
AGAINSTPollutant
surcharges
– Undermines infrastructure
investment
– Might be inefficient
– Very unpopular : poor people pay
more for food, etc.
– Technology exists, but is
unintegrated

The Government of Lilliput has decided to introduce a circular economy for phosphorus. In 12 turns of the clock the land will halve its dependence on imported phosphorus and reduce emissions from human activity to zero.
The Government is appointing an Emissions Dividend Commission to • Raise or lower pollutant surcharges and decide on distribution of the collected fees to citizens.• Ensure prosperity of citizens whilst reducing dependence on imports of non-renewables and ensuring emissions abate.

System intervention #1 The lowernitrogen-demanding diet
The low nitrogen- demanding diet radically reduces farm emissions as meat and dairyfarming emit proportionally more. A combination of price controls (e.g higher VAT on meatproducts) and information campaigns could influence demand.

System intervention #2 The nitrogen-accumulating land area
Paying for the public good of nutrient capture creates jobs in rural areas and creates a potential to recycle the nitrogen and phosphorus captured.
