The present invention relates to a carbon tax storage system using carbon points (or carbon credits), and more particularly, to a system and method for allowing a carbon tax imposed on a customer to be paid using a customer's remaining carbon points (or carbon credits). And a recording medium.

The remarkable development of the industry has given humanity a comfort, but has given nature a hard time to heal. Still, humans are depleting energy resources that are starting to see bottoming out, shouting 'a little more, a little faster', and the greenhouse gases derived from them are accelerating global warming.

With rising temperatures caused by global warming, sea levels rise and unprecedented weather events, humanity is now seeking to protect the environment before it's too late.

The developed countries have led international agreements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a certain percentage over a period of time. In addition, a carbon emission trading system was created to buy and sell greenhouse gas emission rights.

The carbon emission trading scheme is the name of carbon dioxide (CO₂), which has the highest amount of greenhouse gas emissions, and the amount of surplus when GHG emissions are lower than the quota granted by each country (GHG emissions that can be emitted during a certain period). It can sell carbon credits to other countries and vice versa to buy carbon credits from other countries.

After all, reducing carbon emissions to take the lead in protecting the environment would be a bit of an obstacle to industrial development, but by converting it into monetary benefits, countries are encouraged to participate in reducing carbon emissions.

While carbon emissions quotas (greenhouse gas emissions quotas) are given by country, most of the carbon trading is done between companies, and once the system is established, it is clear that quotas will be given to individuals in some way.

Therefore, all units of activity, such as individuals, households, corporations, and merchants, will be given carbon emissions quotas, and if they are allowed to reduce their carbon emissions over a period of time and remain given quotas, they will be able to convert their carbon credits to money through transactions. . Of course, the carbon credits themselves can be approached in terms of points or amounts.

In addition to the carbon credit trading scheme, a policy to impose carbon taxes can also be established. A carbon tax is a policy that imposes taxes in response to carbon emissions, or carbon energy consumption, of businesses or individuals. It encourages carbon energy consumers (businesses or individuals) to curb carbon emissions, and purchases carbon credits that are insufficient for countries. This can be a source of funding for emission reduction facilities.

In other words, efforts to reduce carbon emissions through carbon emission trading schemes and carbon tax imposition policies will continue, and it is clear that each system and policy will be closely related to each other.

Therefore, it must also be followed by the market to freely trade carbon credits granted to companies and individuals, and to provide various means of collecting carbon taxes.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems described above, by paying the carbon tax imposed on individuals / corporations / merchants using carbon points (or carbon credits), by paying carbon taxes in a convenient and various ways It is an object of the present invention to provide a carbon tax storage system, a method and a recording medium using carbon points (or carbon credits).
