Systems and Methods for Carbon Emission Calculation, Tracking and Analysis
First Claim
1. A method of calculating carbon emissions, carbon credits and carbon liabilities when transporting a freight, comprising:
- entering an origin and a destination on a computer interface;
storing the origin and the destination in a memory;
a processor reading the origin and the destination in the memory and determining carbon emissions when transporting the freight from the origin to the destination by considering a plurality of modes of transporting the freight; and
determining which of the plurality of modes of transporting the freight will generate the least carbon emission.

Abstract
A system and method for determining and reducing carbon emissions associated with the transportation of products around the world. An origin, a load, a discharge and a destination are entered on a computer interface. A processor determines carbon emissions for a plurality of routes from the origin to the destination using the origin, the load, the discharge, and the destination to determine and by considering one or more legs from the origin to the destination and by considering a plurality of modes of transportation for each of the legs. The processor determines which of the plurality of routes and which of the plurality of mode of transportations will generate the least carbon emission. A variety of parameters, including but not limited to, vehicle type, fuel time, arrival/departure times, can also be considered in determining carbon emissions. The route with the least carbon emissions can be graphically displayed. Additionally, other alternate routes can also be displayed.

14. A system for of calculating carbon emissions when transporting a freight, comprising:
-
a display; a memory; a processor; application software resident on the memory and operable on the processor, whereby the processor; causes a user interface to be displayed on the display to allow entry of an origin and a destination on a computer interface; causes the origin and the destination entered on the computer interface to be stored in the memory; uses the origin and the destination to determine carbon emissions when transporting the freight from the origin to the destination by considering a plurality of modes of transporting the freight; and determines which of the plurality of modes of transporting the freight will generate the least carbon emission. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
