Method for determining a future value of greenhouse gas credits
First Claim
1. A method for evaluating a proposed greenhouse gas reduction project, comprising:
- receiving one or more parameters associated with a proposed greenhouse gas reduction project;
estimating an amount of greenhouse gas credits potentially generated during the proposed greenhouse gas reduction project;
analyzing historic data associated with a price history of greenhouse gas credits;
estimating a future value of the greenhouse gas credits based on the analysis; and
predicting a potential revenue generated by the proposed greenhouse gas reduction project based on the future value of the greenhouse gas credits.

Abstract
A method for evaluating a greenhouse gas reduction project is disclosed. The method includes receiving one or more parameters associated with a greenhouse gas reduction project. The method also includes determining an amount of greenhouse gas credits potentially generated during the lifecycle of a greenhouse gas reduction project. The method further includes analyzing historic data associated with a price history of greenhouse gas credits. The method also includes estimating a future value of the greenhouse gas credits based on the analysis trends and inputs. The method further includes predicting a potential revenue generated from a greenhouse gas reduction project based on the future value of the generated greenhouse gas credits.
