Abstract

A method for saving electric energy and generating saleable carbon credits based on an amount of electric energy saved using a plurality of electric energy saving components adapted for an operative positioning in-between an electricity supply and a user appliance consuming said electricity supply. Proceeds from the sale of carbon credits based on saved electricity is sold to generate revenue for subsequent purchase and distribution of the energy saving components to subsequent users to accelerate distribution and use of the energy saving components and to accelerate the decrease in carbon emissions.

Claims

1. A method for saving electric energy and generating saleable carbon credits comprising:

manufacturing a plurality of electric energy saving components adapted for an operative positioning in-between an electricity supply and an appliance using electric energy from said electricity supply;

ascertaining an aggregate amount of electric energy saved by the operative positioning said energy saving component in-between said electricity supply and a said appliance;

calculating an aggregate reduction of carbon emissions into the atmosphere from said aggregate amount of electric energy saved;

conducting a sale of carbon credits generated by said aggregate reduction of carbon emissions;

employing proceeds from said sale of carbon credits to fund costs of subsequently manufactured said energy saving components; and

distributing said subsequently manufactures energy savings components for free or at discounted prices to subsequent users, whereby energy savings and carbon reduction are significantly increased by the discounted and free distribution of said energy saving components to users who cannot afford them.

2. The method for saving electric energy and generating saleable carbon credits of claim 1, additionally comprising:

including an identifier in said energy saving components;

employing a network communicator in said energy saving components, to communicate said aggregate amount of electric energy saved by said energy saving component to a server over a network;

matching said identifier to an identified user of said energy saving component; and

communicating a graphically displayed message to a social media page of said identified user depicting said aggregate amount of electric energy saved by said identified user.

3. The method for saving electric energy and generating saleable carbon credits of claim 1, additionally comprising:

including an identifier in said energy saving components;

employing a network communicator in said energy saving components, to communicate said aggregate amount of electric energy saved by said energy saving component to a server over a network;

matching said identifier to an identified user of said energy saving component; and

employing a portion of said proceeds from said sale of carbon credits in a payment to the electricity provider of said identified user.

4. The method for saving electric energy and generating saleable carbon credits of claim 1, additionally comprising:

including an identifier in said energy saving components;

employing a network communicator in said energy saving components, to communicate said aggregate amount of electric energy saved by said energy saving component to a server over a network;

matching said identifier to an identified user of said energy saving component;

employing a portion of said proceeds from said sale of carbon credits in a payment to the electricity provider of said identified user; and

communicating a graphically displayed message to a social media page of said identified user depicting said aggregate amount of electric energy saved by said identified user.

5. The method for saving electric energy and generating saleable carbon credits of claim 1, additionally comprising:

including an identifier in said energy saving components;

employing a network communicator in said energy saving components, to communicate said aggregate amount of electric energy saved by said energy saving component to a server over a network;

matching said identifier to a terrestrial location of said electric energy component;

determining the fossil fuel employed at said terrestrial location to generate said electric energy saved;

calculating said aggregate reduction of carbon emissions into the atmosphere from said aggregate amount of electric energy saved based on said fossil fuel determined as employed at said terrestrial location.

6. The method for saving electric energy and generating saleable carbon credits of claim 1, additionally comprising:

including an identifier in said energy saving components;

employing a network communicator in said energy saving components, to communicate said aggregate amount of electric energy saved by said energy saving component to a server over a network;

matching said identifier to a terrestrial location of said electric energy component; and

during power shortages in said terrestrial location, messaging said network communicator on said energy savings components located in said terrestrial location, to reduce an amount of said electric energy from said electricity supply communicated to said appliance.
