CO~2~ certificates don't attempt to greenwash, but to artificially give pollution a price. That way companies have a financial incentive to lower their CO~2~ pollution. And at the end of the day money is all companies care about.
The whole system is a joke if there's too many certificates around, though, for whatever reason.
