Sorry, isn't this the exact purpose of a carbon tax?  It's not a general
purpose do-good plan but specifically aims to reduce CO2 production.

In the meantime, a lot of electricity suppliers appear to have put up
their prices - as if they were already paying carbon tax.  Not sure how
they achieved that, but it seems to regularly follow electricity
privatisation.
