Currently, the world is implementing a gradual reduction of carbon emissions, one of the main causes of global warming, through the Kyoto Protocol. Member countries and companies of the Kyoto Protocol set limits on carbon emissions by period, and are obliged to trade carbon credits for excess emissions.

Certified Emission Reductions (CER) is the right to emit greenhouse gases that cause global warming and aggravate it. And surplus or insufficient credits can be traded on the market. More specifically, carbon credits are issued by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and the issued carbon credits can be freely traded in the market like commodities. Carbon credits are divided into two types: 'allowance credits' and 'credit credits'. Here, ‘quota’ is the greenhouse gas emission right that can be emitted by each obligatory reduction entity. When the government allocates emission rights to companies, the company can trade excess or excess emissions in the form of emission rights in the market. And credit refers to a method of issuing credits corresponding to the amount of reduction when greenhouse gas emissions are reduced from the originally expected emissions through greenhouse gas reduction activities. In the case of Korea, the carbon emission trading system has been implemented since 2015, and the Korea Exchange has opened and operated the emission market.

Based on the US Apple iPhone 11, more than 80% of the carbon emitted during the life cycle of the iPhone 11 is generated during the production process. We are designing various infrastructures such as a virtuous cycle of resources through collection of used phones, and carbon emissions can be reduced by providing incentives for using and purchasing used or refurbished devices.
As such, prior art related to carbon credits includes an electronic commerce operation system and method using carbon credits, such as Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1070607. However, in the case of this prior art, although a method of trading products through carbon credits is described, it is difficult to achieve an effect of substantially reducing carbon emissions because a method of acquiring carbon credits is not described.
Therefore, in order to stably operate the total carbon emission system and encourage many people to reduce carbon emissions, it is necessary to accurately calculate carbon emissions and reductions according to carbon emission sources, and to grant fair incentives to entities involved in carbon emission reduction. It is becoming.
