APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR FACILITATING CARBON CREDITS
First Claim
1. A method of facilitating the creation and sale of carbon credits, the method performed by at least one computer having a processor and memory and configured for communication with one or more climate action registries and with one or more aggregator systems, the method comprising:
- executing instructions to cause a plurality of carbon credits to be enrolled in a database;
for each credit, executing instructions to cause the credit to be associated with an account of a creator of the credit and with a carbon credit creation project for generating one or more environmental conditions for creating the credit;
executing instructions to determine whether one of the one or more carbon credit creation projects is registered in one of the one or more climate action registries and based on the determining, executing instructions to cause to be registered in the one of the one or more climate action registries a credit associated with the registered carbon credit creation project and validated by a third-party validator as having been created, and to make the validated and registered credit available to an aggregator in an account of the aggregator.

Abstract
A processor-performed method of facilitating the creation and sale of carbon credits. The method includes enrolling a plurality of carbon credits in a database. Each credit is associated with an account of a creator of the credit and with a project for generating the credit. The method includes determining whether one of the one or more projects is registered in a climate action registry; and, based on the determining, registering in the registry a validated credit associated with the registered project and including the registered credit in an account of an aggregator.

16. A system for facilitating the creation and sale of carbon credits, the system comprising at least one processor and memory configured to:
-
enroll a plurality of carbon credits in a database; and for each credit, associate the credit with an account of a creator of the credit and with a carbon credit creation project for generating one or more environmental conditions for creating the credit; the system further configured to receive, from at least one satellite, multi-spectral imagery of a location of one of the one or more projects, the at least one processor and memory further configured to; use the imagery to evaluate one or more land characteristics at the location; and use the one or more evaluated land characteristics to verify whether at least one of the credits is an actual credit. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
