InactiveUS20200027096A1Improve operator safetyImprove user experienceFinancePayment protocolsEnvironmental resource managementCarbon dioxide equivalent
A carbon credit is a generic term for any tradable certificate or permit representing the right to emit one ton of carbon dioxide or the mass of another greenhouse gas with a carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) equivalent to one ton of carbon dioxide.Carbon credits and carbon markets are a component of national and international attempts to mitigate the growth in concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs). One carbon credit is equal to one ton of carbon dioxide, or in some markets, carbon dioxide equivalent gases. Carbon trading is an application of an emissions trading approach. Greenhouse gas emissions are capped and then markets are used to allocate the emissions among the group of regulated sources.Carbon credits can be generated by any process that conforms to ISO 14064-66 standards. Once generated, carbon credits can be stored in a distributed, Cloud-based ledger. The ledger entries can serve as a registry for carbon credits as well as the data source for an Internet-enabled trading system or financial exchange that allows the carbon credits to be sold and bought as part of the same system. The distributed ledger can provide records that combine the details of the carbon credits' origin, transaction history, and financial instructions associated with trading of the carbon credits via a distributed ledger system.

Short term and long term forecasting systems with enhanced prediction accuracy

The present invention provides a short term weather forecaster for nowcasting using a Numerical Weather Predictor (NWP). The system of the present invention tracks the evolution of differences between NWP and radar based precipitation patterns and adjusts the NWP forecast to account for theses differences. These differences are due to amplitude and phase errors of the NWP, such as model misses, false alarms, intensity errors and position errors. In presuming persistency in time of these errors and in estimating precipitation pattern time evolution due to other weather conditions such as wind motion, the present system corrects the NWP short term predicted patterns to compensate for these errors, thus enhancing nowcasting accuracy.
