But for businesses internally: $6 to $60.
Non-energy companies around $10.
Energy companies around $30-40.
So how much CO2 in, say, a barrel of oil?

So how much CO2 in, say, a barrel of oil?
0.43 equiv-tonne CO2/barrel.
Comprehensive, yet simple open book calcs.
Given carbon credit (tonne of CO2, ETS EUA, etc.) prices above; what fraction of
an energy unit cost is this cost/price?

Barrel of oil Jan 2014 about $100.
0.43 equiv-tonne CO2/barrel @ $10-40/equiv-tonne CO2 implies $5-20/barrel carbon price… five to twenty percent of oil price. Not insignificant, but not so high as to set off reality alarms.

"Theoretical" societal CO2 cost of $33/tonne
implies $15/barrel.

2013?)
How much does it cost to produce a barrel of oil?
[And this excludes transportation and such.] Very roughly $30/barrel.
Observations for rules of thumb:
“Market” cost divided by two gives roughly sum of
production, societal and transport.
Production cost divided by two gives roughly societal cost.
