According to the present invention, when a carbon emission product is traded through an e-commerce, a part or all of the carbon emission product amount is settled using the carbon emission right of the buyer, and the carbon emission right of the buyer used for the settlement is the seller of the carbon emission product. Or transfer to a producer.

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.

However, there is no proper market yet for individuals and companies to sell surplus carbon credits through carbon emission reduction activities or to buy insufficient carbon credits.

Moreover, since there is a high risk that carbon companies will run out of carbon credits if they continue to produce products, there is an increasing need for a channel to easily introduce carbon credits. The need for a free carbon credit trading market will be more urgent if it is designated as a mandatory country.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, so that the buyer's carbon credits when buying and selling carbon emission products on the e-commerce so as to be the basis for freely trading carbon credits assigned to individuals, corporations, merchants, etc. It is possible to indirectly sell the carbon credits of the buyer by allowing all or part of the settlement amount to be settled.
In addition, by transferring the carbon credits of the buyers used for payment of the carbon credits to the carbon credit sellers or producers of carbon credits, so that the sellers or producers may indirectly purchase the carbon credits insufficient due to production activities. Has a different purpose.
In addition, there is another purpose to provide an environment in which the rights of carbon credits can be traded by making intangible assets in order to collect fees.
