Denmark expects to cut 3.7 million tons of CO2 in 2030 by changing the way it taxes companies for emissions.

The Nordic country, which has a plan to reduce emissions by 70% before 2030, will charge companies as much as 1,125 kroner ($165) per ton of CO2, the government said in a statement on Wednesday.
