Unfortunately the fact that it has a clearly measurable value means it's price is pegged to that value.

If this token gets you $100 worth of carbon emissions, it's hard to justify a price higher than $100. If the token gets you absolutely nothing, then the value is absolutely arbitrary - enabling spectacular rise

What if you tied it to a desktop carbon capture device (understood that these don't really exist currently)? Doesn't even have to be particularly efficient, nor tied to carbon credits.
