I don't know the answer to this either, but I'll at least try to give an idea on how one might get to that value.
For the Land Value Tax this question is fairly straight-forward. We have the current market value(say $2.4M from the article). We need to work out the value for the land($2M from the article). That 2M is the losses if a 100% LVT is applied. You can choose to phase in the tax, or you can give a tax subsidy equal to the land value($2M), or you can flat out print money equal to the land value, and you can do some combination of all three. Of those 3, it is better to implement the full tax right away to correct the incentives as soon as possible, but long-term it doesn't matter so long as the incentives get there.
One of the interesting consequences here is if you currently own a home, and understand that we are currently in a bubble, and know the consequences of 2008, you are incentivized to vote for a Land Value Tax with a one time transition subsidy, as it will lower your risk profile from another catastrophic collapse of the housing market.
Similar approaches surely apply to carbon sellers, and the carbon tax and dividend is extremely close in idea as the Land Value tax with UBI. So long as people are disincentivized against using carbon, giving tax credits or cash to these companies seems appropriate.
