Yeah I'm sure that'll get enforced. Petroleum companies will just put up a PR campaign with a lot of "green/sustainability" jargon and then continue as normal.

Are we going to apply this to manufacturers overseas as well?

It's countries taxing extraction and imports. If you got enough countries on board there would be scope for tariffs on everything imported from non-compliant countries.
