Yes, it's a made up product (no one sees or wants 'carbon credits' like they want actual resources), a legislative illusion (the experience is a "y/n" on a screen, digital certificate shuffling), and an exercise in extending trust to the bureaucracy (if 80% or 90% of certs were fake, would anyone know?).
