A system incentivizing green energy usage is provided having a charging station, an electricity source electrically connected to said charging station, a signal indicative of the sustainability of the electricity source received by said charging station, a mobile electric device receiving electrical charge from said charging station, a signal indicative of electrical charge drawn from the electrical charging station, a signal indicative of usage data for the mobile electric device, the charging station determining pricing based on at least one of the signal indicative of the sustainability of the electricity source, the signal indicative of the electrical charge drawn and the signal indicative of usage data.

A system incentivizing greenhouse gas sequestration is provided having a greenhouse gas receiving station, a greenhouse gas storage system having a sequestration potential, a signal indicative of the sequestration potential of the greenhouse gas storage system received by said greenhouse gas receiving station, the greenhouse gas receiving station determining a storage cost based on a greenhouse gas and the signal indicative of the sequestration potential, the greenhouse gas receiving station determining a renewable energy credit based on the signal indicative of the sequestration potential of the greenhouse gas storage system.

A system and method for settling monetary and quota-allocated dual currency transactions may be used to reduce Co2 emissions. Each purchasable item (product or service) in the system may have a monetary price and a Carbon price whose value corresponds to a number of Kg of Co2 emitted by the manufacture/sale/use of the purchasable item. The system and method individualizes the reduction of Co2 emissions and allows each consumer to choose purchasable items in part based on the Carbon price.

Knowledge distribution system for controlling rights related to digital knowledge are disclosed. The system may include an input system to receive an instance of digital knowledge from a user; a tokenization system to tokenize the digital knowledge and a ledger management system to store the tokenized digital knowledge. The system may further include a smart contract system to implement a smart contract via the distributed ledger, perform a smart contract action with respect to the tokenized digital knowledge in response to an occurrence of a triggering event; process commitments of a plurality of parties to the smart contract; and manage rights of control of and access to the tokenized digital knowledge according to the smart contract. The distributed ledger includes a plurality of cryptographically linked blocks distributed over a plurality of nodes of a network.

A computer-implemented method for controlling rights related to digital knowledge is disclosed. The method includes creating and managing a distributed ledger which includes a plurality of blocks linked via cryptography distributed over a plurality of nodes of a network. The method further includes implementing and managing a smart contract which includes a triggering event and a smart contract action. The method further includes receiving, tokenizing, and storing an instance of the digital knowledge in the distributed ledger. The method includes managing, rights of control of and access to the tokenized digital knowledge based on the smart contract, and performing, in response to an occurrence of the triggering event, the corresponding smart contract action with respect to the tokenized digital knowledge.

A system and method may determine the carbon emissions risk to an institution through its lending and investment activities to a plurality of counterparties by, for example, determining carbon emissions data for a number of counterparties and, for each counterparty, determining the carbon emissions risk to the institution. A system and method may determine the proportion of total capital of a counterparty that is being financed by a bank, and multiply this by a carbon emissions measure for the counterparty. Embodiments may be applied to determine optimal investment strategies for managing an institution's exposures to carbon risk over time. Such measures may be altered or projected using scenarios describing future emissions data.

A system receives information for a plurality of invoices having invoice amounts owed by a debtor-buyer to a plurality of creditor-suppliers, a cash pool amount for a cash pool available by the debtor-buyer for early payment of at least some of the invoice amounts, and a desired return rate, receives a plurality of offers, each offer from a corresponding creditor-supplier and comprising an offer return rate, determines whether each of the plurality of offers is eligible for acceptance based on each offer return rate from each offer and the desired return rate for the buyer and selects one or more invoices each having an invoice amount, and transmits award information to the debtor-buyer.
