Feebate
Feebate is a portmanteau of "fee" and "rebate". A feebate is a policy mechanism that imposes fees on products or activities associated with negative externalities while providing rebates for alternatives that produce fewer or no such externalities. Feebate systems are typically designed to be revenue-neutral, with fees collected funding the rebates provided. Originally coined in the 1970s by Arthur H. Rosenfeld, feebate programs have typically been used to shift buying habits in the transportation and energy sectors.
