METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED AGGREGATION OF CARBON OFFSETS

摘要

A method for accounting for carbon offsets realized by energy-efficient, electrically-powered devices used by electrical power consumers includes obtaining power usage data for the devices, calculating an initial power reduction attributable to the device, calculating a final power reduction accounting for line loss between the device's location and the location of the power generator. The final power reduction is converted to a carbon offset amount by considering the fuel type used by the power generator. Carbon offsets are then accounted for with distributed ledger technology. A system that performs the method is also disclosed.
