AY or not, here is my question - if I do pay, what exactly do I pay for?

FWIW - when I pay tax, I know that the money collected will be used for public purposes (in theory). But to offset CO2 emission? Does that mean I pay to help excess CO2 disappear? And who will be benefit from the payment?

I don't object the idea of reducing emission. I just want to make sure the money is well spent. Otherwise, it may be better to use the same money on things that helps reducing emissions.
