System and Method of Creating, Aggregating, and Transferring Environmental Emission Reductions
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of processing environmental emissions for providing an emission reduction, the method comprising:
- selecting at least one producer of at least one of environmental emissions and environmental emissions removal;
selecting at least one protocol sufficient for comparing at least one production practice to a baseline practice;
collecting production practice data regarding the at least one producer responsive to the at least one protocol;
converting the production practice data to environmental data using a pre-selected conversion factor; and
taking title to the environmental data.

Abstract
An integrated, holistic methodology for enabling a systematic creation, aggregation, verification, registration, storage, transfer/sale, and retirement of environmental emission removal units provides a control and management system complementing the use of sound foundational science to qualify and quantify environmental emission reductions and removals, and provides the framework for accurate data collection, storage, and processing.

16. A method of processing environmental emissions for providing an emission reduction, the method comprising:
-
selecting a producer of at least one of environmental emission and environmental emission removal;
comparing a production practice of the producer to pre-selected qualification criteria;
selecting a protocol sufficient for comparing the production practice to a baseline practice;
collecting production practice data regarding the producer responsive to the protocol;
confirming the collected production practice data meets a pre-selected data standard;
converting the production practice data to environmental data using pre-selected conversion factors; and
taking title to the environmental data by other than the producer. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
