Description

Create, collect and transfer the possession of the system and method that environmental emission reduces
Technical field
The present invention relates to environmental emission, especially relate to establishment, collection, transfer and the clearing of environmental emission.
Background technology
Environmental emission is that many industries and municipality improve the theme of estimating, and all standardization day by day on zone and country level.To an increasingly great extent, just using permission to strengthen Zone-Policy by the pollution that requires to alleviate to atmosphere, water and/or soil to commercial network.
The policy maker is faced with and is difficult to the predicament that overcomes on the surface: lasting economic growth/recovery needs enlarge energy production and economic output; this directly causes the environmental emission level to increase---but environmentalist's strong request takes clear and definite measure to reduce environmental emission, and require a more green environment.This is actual especially in the area of climate change, and the environmentalist seeks the interior minimizing of greenhouse gases (GHG) discharging on a large scale for this reason.
This problem is sharp-pointed; The solution of the mandatory provision energy resource consumption upper limit will cause the head-on confrontation with industry, and may have serious economic consequences; But global emission problem is very serious.For example in the GHG field, existing rules/agreement attempts to seek approximately annual 2000000000 tons of (CO in the worldwide 2Equivalent) minimizing; And, the CO of atmospheric stability in the science recommendation 2Level will need reduction annual in the worldwide above 10,000,000,000 tons.
Usually, by the enterprise operation of strengthening or the meeting of elimination produces a large amount of environmental emissions (following technology demonstrates more efficient operation probably), perhaps by multiple from biosphere the removal technology of " purification " pollutant, the minimizing of environmental emission can realize by pollution clean-up technology (as the chimney fly-ash separator is installed or is upgraded by general capital).Avoid the generation of environmental emission or reduce the unit that the technology that has level of pollution (any technology all must be measured and can examine, and can compare with the benchmark of determining) now can be used for creation environment discharging reduction effectively.
Industry member seeking always effective, cheap and reliably means come 30 years or longer time bias environmental emission for future, until technology occurring and new capital equipment " is caught up with " emission problem.And in order to bear economically, the large-scale discharger of solution requirement (as public utilities) can make things convenient for, use reliably, chronically the large-scale aggregate supply that can compensate its discharge capacity minimizing.
Yet the industry of " being easy to produce " is removed contamination and is avoided environmental emission not to be enough to satisfy now by the requirement in the worldwide of rule/rules and regulations.And, as petroleum industry recently as shown in, violent minimizing discharging is very expensive.An industry leader (on the website of their company) points out that the cost that they are used for inner GHG discharge capacity minimizing calendar year 2001 is average CO per ton 239.63 dollars of equivalents; The average unit cost that was used for inner GHG discharge capacity minimizing in 2002 increases greatly.
In addition, creating, collecting and transfer the possession of (sale) environmental emission reduction is a very complicated process, does not issue that also what formal standard stipulates these steps or reference data is provided.For example, as of late, " qualified " supplier co-operation on specific basis of the generally acknowledged buyer of environmental emission reduction and this discharging reduction has defined the feature of specific supply contract mutually.The environmental emission reduction is created as (privately) standard of mutually determining, and sometimes by the third-party institution, check or examine as Environmental Engineer, environmentalist or Certified Public Accountants Firm, and by non-public exchange.These transaction are performed based on project one by one, unless and often covered in confidence---the buyer wishes to disclose this incident to win positive public image.
The following climate change rules in nearest zone and country have been established the reference data that can specify emission level.But it does not stipulate clearly that how GHG ERC, login mechanism and standard etc. being carried out qualification certification/quantity determines.
This problem is very complicated.For example, many independent production runnings have limited the establishment/generation ability of environmental emission reduction; Usually, independent site can not produce significant economically quantity concerning the large-scale buyer of environmental emission minimizing unit (self reducing the internal demands of discharging to satisfy or to surpass them).In addition, entities of " needs " a large amount of compensation must take in the problem of a considerable amount of entities of many suitable collections, as: contract and price standard, entitlement/ownership transfer problem, problem for quality assurance (statistical error bound, data are permanent and check or the like), replenish, registration and calcellation, the risk of leakage, environmental emission reduction alleviate and other problems.In the past, concerning the large-scale buyer of environmental emission reduction, it is unpractical taking with addressing all of these issues relevant spending.
In addition, be used to create/provide the enough quality assurance provisionses of the common shortage of project of environmental emission reduction.For example, even those have been adopted the quality control of certain grade---as field audit or data detection---transaction, do not take any measure (that is, company or independent audit person's sincerity/outside proving) to come the real field audit that carried out of true Shanghai Stock Exchange yet.In many cases, record is based on paper spare and not too safe.
When the exploitation of the cleaning of the Kyoto Protocol with unite the mode that the mechanism of fulfiling has been set up the height standard, be used for when single GHG project adopts quality assurance, they carry out this work in the mode of " high friction "---promptly be accompanied by high " gradation compensation " cost price.
Here need a kind of can be when satisfying global credit check the system that reduces of development environment discharging at an easy rate.

At first with reference to Fig. 1, embodiments of the invention have been developed and have a kind ofly been realized that environmental emission reduces the systematized establishment of unit 32, collects, examines, registers 30, storage, transfer/sale and the integrated package arrangement withdrawn from, are called system 100.This sets of plan has been set up the good basis science used and has been replenished with to the minimizing of environmental emission with remove 20 and carry out qualification certification and definite potential control and the management system of quantity.It provides the framework that is used for precise information collection 24, storage and handles 26, set up strict quality 300, required multiple " checking and balance ", comprised that the third party examines, test result, and based on clearing property and data transparency principle fully.As with reference to shown in Figure 1, from higher level, system 100 by the producer 10, carry out process 20 and discharger/user 40 that qualification certification and quantity determines and form.As illustrating by example here, can pay to the producer 10, be used to receive and use the information that can realize further processing procedure 26, this can the creation environment discharging reduce unit 32.After processing procedure 26, discharging reduces (ER) 28 and/or environmental emission minimizing unit 32 (no matter whether relevant with common interests 34) can be transferred to discharger/user 40.
Fig. 2 has described system 100, is decomposed into additional step.As shown in the figure, system 100 comprises that at least one production division from a plurality of production divisions selects at least one producer 10, and these production divisions comprise that agricultural, forestry, oil and/or gas production (comprising the Oil residue recuperation of raising), fuel production (comprising alcohol production), semiconductor machining, metal manufacturing, coal production, deep layer geology are isolated, durable goods processing and waste management (comprising the waste residue landfill).Select 22 at least a agreements, form 23 evaluation team, and select 24 at least a agreements, and be used to instruct the processing procedure of collecting data, these data are processed then and change 26, produce the discharging reduction 28 of quantification.The discharging reduction 28 of this quantification is through location registration process process 30, and is for example negotiable then to buyer 40 or warehouse 42.Fig. 2 has also shown multiple quality control and quality assurance inspection, comprises audit, qualification authentication and examines cyclic process.
System 100 can comprise from a plurality of supervision authorities at least one the supervision authority select a plurality of producers 10.When some department may have higher every place (or collect) capacity when producing environmental emission and reducing unit 32 than other department, same management system is applicable to many departments.
Shown in Figure 3 as reference, collection system 200 comprises settles a bargain before and flow process, proceedings flow process and on-site evaluation flow process after settling a bargain.This treatment scheme comprises the collection 50 of " representative and assurance ", and this is the important step of relief from obligation.Fig. 4-7 has described the step except that collection system 200 in detail.Fig. 4 is the exemplary treatment scheme before of settling a bargain, and is made up of Fig. 4 A (outside interactive) and Fig. 4 B (inner interactive).Fig. 5 is the exemplary treatment scheme afterwards of settling a bargain, and comprises multiple contingent audit.Fig. 6 is exemplary proceedings treatment scheme.Fig. 7 is exemplary on-site evaluation flow process.As mentioning among Fig. 3-5 and Fig. 7, preferably carry out the bio-safety program after this.The collection 24 of data may take place on stream the one or more different point.
Shown in Figure 8 as reference, quality assurance system 300 comprises inside and outside two kinds of audits by checking and equilibrium composition, examines as the third party.As shown in the figure, data center 70 can be positioned at one or more places.
As shown in Figure 9, need a plurality of programs and treatment step (and relevant file) to be implemented in the reliable quality assurance program of operation on the total system 100 with reference to what form by Fig. 9 A and Fig. 9 B.
This system 100 preferably can be applicable to produce the department that a large amount of " residue " environmental emissions reduce unit 32, it is not only described by way of example here agricultural sector, these dischargings reduce negotiable the giving of unit and wish to manage the company or the department of its environmental emission accordance in the mode of cheapness, perhaps can be usually used for any department, to guarantee to come the discharging reduction is carried out qualification authentication and quantification 20 with unified high standard and the standard that conforms to.
System 100 can comprise the producer's qualification data and previously selected standard are compared, to determine the producer 10 qualification.For example, in agricultural sector, this processing procedure can comprise considering whether the producer 10 is engaged in intensive domestic animal business, raises the livestock of which kind of type and quantity, and the enforcement of producer's management standard.By another kind of example, at oil sector, this processing procedure can comprise considering whether the producer 10 not only produces oil but also produce rock gas, and whether rock gas is acquired with respect to burning, and whether petroleum extn needs recovery (injection) technology that strengthens.
By the realization of " qualification authentication " step, can concentrate on system resource can the easiest realization significantly to discharge the producer 10 of minimizing/elimination, thereby optimize the generation that a considerable amount of environmental emissions reduce unit 32.
System 100 can comprise with being engaged in and can produce at least one producer 10 that environmental emission reduces the production practices of unit 32 and sign a contract.This step has been set up the entity that is authorized to using system 100 and has been ready to be engaged in formal relationship between the producer 10 of the production practices that realize that environmental emission changes with respect to benchmark.If entity has been authorized to have a plurality of producers 10 that can be engaged in the production practices that realize that environmental emission changes with respect to benchmark, this step can be optional.
System 100 can comprise " pre-evaluation " producer's running, comprise the data 24 of collecting as the pre-evaluation of production run, size and infrastructure, at least one agreement 22 in a plurality of agreements of suitable this producer's running of selection, collection and makes the producer guarantee data and/or data-gathering process 50 about the available oracle 24 of this producer 10 and running thereof.
Here, agreement can comprise to environmental emission and environmental emission reduce measuring method, indirectly measurement standard, modelling standard, benchmark definition (comprise calendar, based on practice and standard), data aggregation practice/standard based on usefulness, comprise the conversion factor of the potential possibility of IPCC global warming (GWP) conversion factor (can realize of the contrast that be equal to of different greenhouse gases) and examine standard according to the carbon dioxide equivalent.This agreement can be the agreement of government's proof or approval.This agreement can only provide determines 20 to the qualification authentication and the quantity of environmental emission minimizing unit 32, perhaps it can also authorize other common interests or joint product 34 approval, comprise that clean air (for example, the minimizing smell), clean water, minimizing land erosion, symbiosis electric charge and/or soil utilize interests (for example, following the soil regime of the enhancing of specific plant growth or shift of crops).
Whether this system 100 traceable (or indicating) agreement is ratified by specific government or other entities (as the World Bank) or is confirmed, is very important because this " approval " that indicates has been determined the specific buyer 40 who reduces unit 32 for environmental emission.
The collection of external information source data 24 can comprise on-the-spot physical data, comprise crop allocation figure, soil layout, basin layout, landform layout, Geographic Reference data 25 (being latitude/longitude coordinates), on-the-spot permission data, as TMDL permission, total on-the-spot capacity permission, construction permit and air discharge permit, high-altitude photo, comprise that also infrastructure is settled and spatial data (if photography is a vertical correction), the information of measuring/putting into practice about commercial effect, as productive capacity, output, and animal welfare practice/standard.These data are illustrated with reference to Fig. 6 and Figure 12 A, 12B.
By the pre-evaluation producer's 10 running, can optimize and strengthen follow-up field data and collect and evaluation behavior 24.Figure 10 illustrates as reference, those can the selected/all possible agreements of application 22 to realize that environmental emission reduces and removes---select those agreements that are suitable for producer's running most, evaluation makes it possible to optimize the formation processing procedure 400 of template in advance by investigating.When the producer 10 is engaged in specific production practices, will produce common interests 34 along with the minimizing and the removal of environmental emission.Because reducing the buyer 40 of unit 32, environmental emission may wish selectively to select those discharge capacitys that produce common interests 34 minimizing units, so some agreements will be admitted the generation of common interests.As after a while this part being further described, has a treatment scheme, wherein buyer 40 can search for and lay in the environmental emission minimizing unit 32 of the particular types that comprises that those have common interests 34, comprises that the inventory of the appointment that transfer is available is registered.
Pre-evaluation behavior has the good effect that data aggregation behavior at the scene 24 provides necessary data before sometimes.For data are provided in advance, only need evaluation person's checking data (as opposing to find and collect data) during the collection of production practice data 24.It also makes the producer 10 who supplies particular data can guarantee the accuracy of these data.When the mistake of having exempted described entity and the producer great legal liabilities relevant with general idea, this " representative and guarantee " 50 entities for this system 100 of use are exceedingly useful.
System 100 comprises collects production practice data 24, and these data are processed after a while 26, and unit 32 carries out qualification authentication and quantity is determined so that environmental emission is reduced.The collection of production practice data 24 can comprise outside information available and the field data of collection about the producer, as previous described with reference to Fig. 6 and Figure 12 A, 12B.Qualification authentication or quantity are carried out in environmental emission minimizing/elimination to be determined all required data and/or all is collected by the desired confirmation of third party verifier.
In the collection process of production practice data 24, oracle can comprise on-the-spot physical data, comprise crop allocation figure, the soil layout, the basin layout, the landform layout, Geographic Reference data 25 (being latitude/longitude coordinates), on-the-spot permission data, permit as TMDL, total on-the-spot capacity permission, construction permit, and gaseous emission permission, the high-altitude photo permission, comprise that also infrastructure is settled and spatial data (if photography is a vertical correction), information about commercial efficacy measurements/practice, as productive capacity, output, and animal welfare practice/standard.
Shown in the example of farm among Fig. 8 or farm system, can comprise about the collection of the producer 10 field data 24 and to collect the data that the producer provides, form the evaluation team 24 of on-site collection and/or affirmation field data 24, enter data into based at least one previously selected template of selecting at least a agreement in the various protocols 22, wherein this template comprises about at least a agreement, commercial criterion, the environment accordance, nonuniformity, and/or the problem of business demand, also can comprise input---with the step while that field data is input at least one previously selected template---Geographic Reference 25 and temporal information, itself can comprise use GPS (GPS), cellular communications networks or have Geographic Reference/tracking power to follow the tracks of on-the-spot evaluation person's the similar system that exists and make progress can comprise that also use comes record data as the electronic data device 60 of PDA or electronic memo.This electronic equipment 60 that is used for record data can comprise access or security regulations, to realize through authorizing ground to use this equipment to carry out data input and/or data transmission subsequently.This data input processing procedure also can comprise revises at least a previously selected template, thereby the underproof producer's practice or condition are filed.In addition, can comprise about the collection of the producer 10 field data 24 and to collect as productive capacity, output, and/or the commercial usefulness data of animal welfare practice, can comprise that also the producer is to collecting 24 assurance about the field data of known production practices, the wherein producer's representative and guarantee that 50 can be the lawful discharge of data aggregation obligation comprises the release about the responsibility of bio-safety problem.
In some production divisions, for reasons such as responsibility, physics or data securities, with the appearance of producing irrelevant personnel (or visit) be unwelcome.System 100 can be used for reducing other service providers' visit, thereby can make evaluation person collect supply chain or the commercial criterion compatibility information that can collect other during the production practice data 24.
Many factors are considered in the formation of evaluation team 23, comprise the producer 10 type, agreement and evaluation person's the qualification and the confirmation that require in advance.In addition, it has considered spendable data collection facility, and evaluation person is to the familiarity of this equipment.All options all are used for optimizing the quality and the consistance of collected data, thereby the output result who guarantees all requirements is reasonably with convictive.
Data collection facility can comprise the use of electronic data instrument 60 of combination of the software of operation " (off the shelf) can be purchased off the shelf " and customization, comprises the preliminary election model agreement of describing with reference to Figure 10 as previous.The use of this equipment makes it can comprise " safety " regulation, thereby prevents that unwarranted personnel from visiting this system (threat data safety) or importing incorrect production data (integrality of compromise data).It has also strengthened collecting and the processing procedure of assignment data with reliable, effective and efficient manner.Can use this electronic data instrument 60 to collect suitable field data and collect 24 and the producer's that follows of security procedure " representative and guarantee " 50 record of filing, form release for the legal obligation of particular problem.For example, under agricultural producer 10 situation, this guarantees that provable evaluation person has followed suitable bio-safety agreement.
System 100 can comprise production practice data is sent to data center 70, wherein sends data and can comprise and transmit and/or encrypt production practice data; And the reception production practice data, receive data and can comprise deciphering production practice data and/or protected data and limiting access.
Figure 11 shows a kind of data management that is used for data collection facility 60 and data center 70 and the foundation structure of infotech by example, comprise business system and data base, by functional software module, application program, database and comprise communication between 60 and 70 and the service of synchronization links is formed.
Figure 12 A and 12B show the information flow in the business system that comprises the mutual relationship between function, as the transfer of customer relation management, proceedings, external resource management, report 35, audit, registration 30 and information or environmental emission minimizing unit 32.
Data transmission procedure can (by specific incident) carry out automatically, as electronic data instrument 60 being placed on subsequently the back of the charging basket (charging cradle) that uses, and/or when detecting as the existing of the communication media of available phone line or Radio Link---perhaps can manually boot.In the data aggregation of non-electronics mode, transmission course can comprise the transmission hard-copy record.Data center 70 can comprise one or more websites, and data center 70 can form " mirror image " by other data centers 70 for the reliability purpose---and promptly, these data can partly or entirely be stored in a plurality of data centers 70 simultaneously.
System 100 comprises that the production practice data that affirmation receives satisfies previously selected data standard, comprises the completeness of data integrity, data and the qualification of testing production practice data for processing procedure 26.This test comprises checks underproof processing procedure once more, check suitable producer's contractual terms and conditions once more, check unsettled environmental baseline and/or action once more at this producer, the production practices and the benchmark practice of filing in the data-gathering process are compared, and determine acceptable state for the third party audits.In addition; system 100 comprises report 35 production practice data; it comprises production practice data and usefulness standard is compared; also can comprise compatibility by the identification production practices that tag; wherein label can comprise government permission, can authorize the regulations protection; perhaps can discern the source (for example environmental emission reduces the source of unit) of authorizing the compatibility condition, also can comprise and use previously selected conversion factor that production practice data is converted to environmental data.Figure 12 B has shown tagged process by way of example.
Even system 100 comprises the regulation of handling 26 production practice data---it does not satisfy all qualification testings---as long as its result keeps separating with the treated data that meet all these tests.For example, in case this attribute can be used for running into specific adjunctive behavior (as correcting nonuniformity, the amendment of contract etc.), just notify the producer 10 quantity that will reduce unit 32 owing to the environmental emission of the producer 10 production practices.This attribute can be the producer 10 provides additional excitation to satisfy all system testings to guarantee its production practices.In addition, this attribute can be predicted the availability that reduces the future of unit 32 from the environmental emission of specific manufacturer 10 and/or department.
Figure 13-15 shows the system data flow process of the common interests 34 that are used to create discharging minimizing 28, environmental emission minimizing unit 32 and are correlated with and handles 26.Figure 13 is exemplary generation treatment scheme in advance.Figure 14 shows the control and treatment process that comprises qualification and data test.Figure 15 shows and creates and allocation flow.
System 100 be that its specific producer's capacity of deposit---or ability of the type of producer's capacity---is used to satisfy the particular environment demand on the other hand, no matter this demand is current or following.For example, this can be to reduce the form that unit 32 keeps near the employed regional environmental emission of producing of discharger, be used to keep the employed specific environment discharging of special entity and reduce unit 32 with specific relevant common interests, or be used for keeping by the employed environmental emission that is produced by one or more CDM of the Kyoto Protocol or JI project of designated entities and reduce unit 32, or the particular environment discharging that is used to be preserved for application-specific reduces unit 32, as compensation and certain products or serve the generation of relevant environmental emission.By this ability, make specific production practice data reduce unit 32 transfer demands and be associated with the particular environment discharging.For example, in analogous cases, the ability of this appointment specified vol or volume type for example can be used for predicting that the systematicness that may influence benchmark or production practices changes.By way of example, management subject or NGO can utilize this ability to understand the reality " influence " of the policy change of being considered.
Figure 16-18 shows the system data flow that is used for stock and location registration process 30.Figure 16 shows inventory system.Figure 17 shows stock and searches and the storage level processing procedure, comprises transmitting available appointment inventory to register.Figure 18 shows the processing procedure that is used for the sales register stock.In addition, this system comprises multiple function of reporting 35, shown in reference Fig. 2 and Figure 12 A, 12B.Authorized entity can be addressed inquires to this system 100 determining and to report specific production data or compatibility problem, this be included in data center 70 or pass through the obtainable any production practice data of external source all relevant.For example, financial institution or insurance institution can be used for authorizing specific coverage or subsidy scope it as the most important condition.In another example, this report can be used for granting the preferred supplier of the producer 10 as given entity.This popularizes just day by day,---requires as animal welfare---to impose on its supplier for example to hotel industry, specific production requirement.Whether can report 35 via system 100 with conforming to of these requirements.
In another example, the third party verifier may wish that the Geographic Reference coordinate 25 that is plotted to the evaluation person on the map of producer place by demonstration checks evaluation process (comprising the progress of evaluation person in data aggregation and verification process) once more.
Label can comprise the titular producer's 10 sign, and wherein this producer of this sign expression is checked once more by system 100 and is up to specification.This sign can be authorized the producer 10 effective " regulations protection ", because the notice of environmental protection topworks/entity may more concentrate on one's body the producer 10 who does not participate in.Can exchange trademark information or product suitability by tagging, show specific environmental protection attribute visibly with " medal " that be similar to UL seal or " outstanding household wares medal ".For example, this tagged process can specify the some or all of environmental emissions relevant with the product manufacturing to be compensated.And label can comprise the information about the producer's (or manufacturer) product, and wherein this product includes the information about the accordance of compensation or particular form---include but are not limited to: compensate the source of attribute or feature.For example, Product labelling can not only specify the some or all of environmental emissions relevant with the product manufacturing to be compensated, but also comprises and make it can discern the information in the source of compensate for ambient discharging minimizing/elimination unit 32.
System 100 also comprises the entitlement that obtains environmental data, wherein this entitlement can be obtained by other producers except that this producer 10, and environmental data is revised as the effective environmental data, wherein said modification can solve error model and/or data variation, comprises and protocol-dependent variation.Usually in the past, the producer 10 delivers to data and resulting environmental emission minimizing unit 32 to entitlement.System 100 makes other entities except that the producer 10 also can obtain data, and after the processing procedure 26, obtain the entitlement that resulting environmental emission reduces unit 32, cut off the producer effectively and environmental emission is reduced the obligation that unit 32 transfers buyer 40 contract about guaranteeing.In this example, use the entity of this system 100 that the producer 10 is paid, to generate practical data.
This aspect of system 100 makes it can adjust inherent systematic error, collects error, agreement error (comprising transformed error), data variation or the like as data.It can also be according to " performance " curve prediction transfer process in time, and wherein environmental emission reduces the function decline that is worth in the unit as the time.
