Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Suppose I find myself in possession of an Ecuadorean crude oil unit. Can Ecuador refuse to sell me the equivalent volume of oil in exchange for my unit at a time of my choosing?

Yes. But I don't see crude oil as being the source of these Units directly.

I see crude oil producers entering into processing partnerships with refiner/transport infrastructure service providers, and thereby having entitlements (through "equity Shares" in the flow) to Units redeemable in carbon fuel Units.

These are much more homogeneous, and with a fixed price by reference to an energy standard.
