# Carbon credits?
Do they mean that you could drive a bigger car for a few days, or something?

# I think it means you have to pay the government
so that you can emit as much CO2 as you like

# something like that, yes
every industrial company gets a "license" to emit a certain amount of CO2 per year, based on its size, branch and european ecological standards.
if you emit less, you can sell your remaining credits to other companies which emit more than they were assigned
