A carbon offset credit calculation system utilizing waste oil includes a first terminal device inputting information relating to waste oil regarded as a biomass resource; a second terminal device owned by a fuel manufactory and inputting information relating to biofuel, which is purified from waste oil. The fuel manufactory produces the biofuel based on the waste oil. The system includes a third terminal device owned by a site consuming biofuel and inputting information relating to power generation and fuel consumption; and a carbon offset credit calculation server, which calculates a carbon offset amount based on information input by the first terminal device, the second terminal device, and the third terminal device, and calculates a carbon offset credit based on the carbon offset amount. The first terminal device, the second terminal device, the third terminal device, and the carbon offset credit calculation server are connected to one another via the network.

An environment contribution effect report generation apparatus for generating a report on an environment contribution effect produced by introduction of a facility includes: an environmental load intensity acquisition unit configured to identify and acquire an amount of environmental load caused in generating energy used by the facility per unit amount and evidence information on the amount of environmental load, from a history of energy usage by the facility; and an environment contribution effect report generation unit configured to calculate an environment contribution effect from an environmental load intensity and an amount of energy used by the facility and to generate a report containing the environment contribution effect and the evidence information.

The present invention discloses innovative aspects that can be embodied in methods that include CO2 offsetting in short term intervals that range from daily, hourly, and all the way down to offsetting by the second. These offsetting methods take place through renewable energy installations in single or multiple locations globally. These installations can be owned and operated by individuals or deployed in various geographies by leasing companies, decentralized utilities, or similar set-ups. The carbon offsets generated, issued, sold, and retired through these methods include live production data from a variety of IoT devices, such as, but not limited to, smart meters, converters, inverters, and monitoring systems, as well as payment and ERP systems. Another innovative aspect of the present invention includes methods for software application plug-ins that interface with one or several embodiments of the system. These methods enable the automated offsetting in real-time of particular CO2 emission behaviors of consumers that relate to domains such as, but not limited to, (i) building automation, (ii) transport and mobility (air, land and sea), (iii) retail, and (iv) banking and payment services. Furthermore, another innovative aspect of the present invention includes the methods for importing pre-issued carbon offset credits from third-party carbon registries, and issuing, blending and selling these credits though the automation and real-time features of various embodiments of the present method. The carbon offsets, or other digital energy attributions, created through the methods presented in the present invention can be automatically retired on purchase, and can therefore not be double issued, or double spent.

A climate technology ecosystem is disclosed that automates the collection and processing of data by way of programmed computer software to automatically generate uniform encrypted carbon credit certificates that can be traded on peer-to-peer exchanges or as derivatives. The Autonomous Climate Technology Ecosystem (ACTE) creates a network of information derived from nine systems designed to: sensor, qualify, measure, encode, encrypt, issue, index, register, and exchange, all of which rely upon artificial intelligence to identify, calculate and quantify the source and origin of carbon and automatically generate uniform encrypted carbon credit certificates based upon the nature and attributes of the carbon and associated CO.sub.2e.
