I think your link demonstrates the opposite.

Barring direct measurement and tracking the end use of all CO2 sources (which isn't physically nor fiscally possible)
Just about the only end use case that's relevant there is CCS credits.

Whoooosh! quote:You're picking at nits. Assess at end use, assess at source-- makes no difference.

Bottom line someone, somewhere, must determine how much carbon is produced in order to tax it. That taxing authority will be the same one that your link points out doesn't calculate carbon production in a fair nor accurate way.
But I'm sure next time they will get it right.
