A comment on I liked the idea of carbon offsets until I tried to explain it. Parent comment
Why not just tax the fuel?
Measuring carbon emissions has to be a pain.
But we know pretty much what emits carbon, it's the gas or oil.
Pick a spot in the carbon value chain that's closer to the source and tax that.
It's a bit crude, but maybe more accurate than measuring emissions.
