Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, the above-described conventional energy service support device is intended for arterial logistics, and arterial logistics refers to the process from the production site to the consumer of products and services, and specifically consists of three stages: procurement, production, and sales. Therefore, it has been difficult to handle venous logistics, which refers to the process until used products and materials are collected from the consumption site, processed and recycled, and then supplied again as useful resources. Specifically, in the reverse logistics process, waste is transported from waste generators to incineration facilities by transport vehicles for incineration, and then the incinerated material is transported to landfills by transport vehicles for landfilling. Carbon dioxide is emitted during transportation and incineration, but there was a problem in that the amount of carbon dioxide emitted could not be visualized and no proposals to reduce emissions could be made.

[0007] The invention according to claim 2, in addition to the configuration of the carbon dioxide emission calculation program described in claim 1, further solves the aforementioned problems by having the computer execute a power generation amount estimation calculation step, which estimates the amount of electricity generated when waste is incinerated at the incineration facility, based on the weight information of the waste loaded on the transport vehicle upon arrival obtained from a weight sensor installed in the incineration facility, the weight information obtained from a weight sensor mounted on the transport vehicle or the weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard, and the type of waste transported by the transport vehicle; and in the difference calculation step, the difference between the value obtained by subtracting the converted carbon dioxide emission obtained by multiplying the amount of electricity estimated in the power generation amount estimation calculation step by a predetermined electricity emission coefficient from the total emission amount obtained by summing the estimated carbon dioxide emissions, and the converted carbon dioxide emission obtained by multiplying the estimated amount of electricity by a predetermined electricity emission coefficient.

[0008] The invention according to claim 3 is a carbon dioxide emission calculation system comprising a transport vehicle and a server that can communicate with the transport vehicle, which calculates the difference in carbon dioxide emissions depending on whether or not there is a processing device that heats or crushes waste as raw material, wherein the server estimates and calculates the amount of carbon dioxide emissions when waste is transported from a waste generator to an incineration facility by transport vehicle, based on weight information of the waste loaded on the transport vehicle at the time of arrival obtained from a weight sensor installed in the incineration facility, weight information obtained from a weight sensor mounted on the transport vehicle or weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard of the waste generator, and location information and travel distance information obtained from a location information acquisition means mounted on the transport vehicle, and the server estimates and calculates the amount of carbon dioxide emissions when waste is transported from a waste generator to an incineration facility by transport vehicle, based on weight information of the waste loaded on the transport vehicle at the time of arrival obtained from a weight sensor installed in the incineration facility, weight information obtained from a weight sensor mounted on the transport vehicle or weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard, The system solves the aforementioned problems by having a configuration in which, based on information about the type of waste transported by the transport vehicle, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when the waste is incinerated at the incineration facility is estimated and calculated by the server, based on the weight information of the incinerated material loaded on the transport vehicle at the time of departure obtained from a weight sensor installed in the incineration facility or weight information obtained from a weight sensor mounted on the transport vehicle, and location information and travel distance information obtained from a location information acquisition means mounted on the transport vehicle, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when the incinerated material is transported by the transport vehicle from the incineration facility to the landfill, the server, based on the weight information obtained from a weight sensor and information about the type of raw material when the raw material is processed by a processing device that heats or crushes the waste as a raw material, and the server calculates the difference between the total amount of carbon dioxide emitted by summing up the estimated amounts of carbon dioxide emitted and the converted amount of carbon dioxide emitted by multiplying the estimated amount of electricity by a predetermined electricity emission coefficient.

This allows waste generators to visualize how much their carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by installing the processing device and propose its installation and introduction. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 2] A chart illustrating an example of the operation of the carbon dioxide emission calculation program in a carbon dioxide emission calculation system, which is an embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0013] The present invention's carbon dioxide emission calculation program includes: a first carbon dioxide emission estimation calculation step that estimates the carbon dioxide emissions when waste is transported from a waste generator to an incineration facility by transport vehicle, based on weight information of the waste loaded on the transport vehicle at the time of arrival obtained from a weight sensor installed in the incineration facility, weight information obtained from a weight sensor mounted on the transport vehicle or weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard of the waste generator, and location information and travel distance information obtained from a location information acquisition means mounted on the transport vehicle; a second carbon dioxide emission estimation calculation step that estimates the carbon dioxide emissions when waste is incinerated at the incineration facility, based on weight information of the waste loaded on the transport vehicle at the time of arrival obtained from a weight sensor installed in the incineration facility, weight information obtained from a weight sensor mounted on the transport vehicle or weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard, and information on the type of waste transported by the transport vehicle; and a second carbon dioxide emission estimation calculation step that estimates the carbon dioxide emissions when waste is incinerated at the incineration facility, based on weight information of the waste loaded on the transport vehicle at the time of arrival obtained from a weight sensor installed in the incineration facility, weight information obtained from a weight sensor mounted on the transport vehicle or weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard, and information on the type of waste transported by the transport vehicle. 。 English: A third carbon dioxide emission estimation calculation step estimates the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when transporting incinerated materials from an incineration facility to a landfill by a transport vehicle, based on the weight information of the incinerated materials loaded onto the transport vehicle or weight information obtained from a weight sensor mounted on the transport vehicle, and location information and travel distance information obtained from a location information acquisition means mounted on the transport vehicle. A third power consumption estimation calculation step estimates the amount of power required for processing based on weight information obtained from a weight sensor and information on the type of raw material when processing raw materials with a processing device that heats or crushes the waste as raw material. A third difference calculation step calculates the difference between the total emissions obtained by summing the estimated carbon dioxide emissions and the converted carbon dioxide emissions obtained by multiplying the estimated power consumption by a predetermined electricity emission coefficient. By having a computer execute these steps, it is possible to visualize how much carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by installing a processing device for waste generators and propose the installation and introduction of a processing device. Any specific embodiment of this is acceptable. Furthermore, the carbon dioxide emission calculation system of the present invention is a carbon dioxide emission calculation system that comprises a transport vehicle and a server that can communicate with the transport vehicle, and calculates the difference in carbon dioxide emissions depending on whether or not there is a processing device that heats or crushes waste as raw material, and the server estimates the amount of carbon dioxide emissions when waste is transported from the waste generator to the incineration facility by transport vehicle, based on the weight information of the waste loaded on the transport vehicle at the time of arrival obtained from a weight sensor installed in the incineration facility, the weight information obtained from a weight sensor mounted on the transport vehicle or the weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard of the waste generator, and the location information and travel distance information obtained from a location information acquisition means mounted on the transport vehicle, and the server estimates the amount of carbon dioxide emissions when waste is transported from the waste generator to the incineration facility by transport vehicle, and the server estimates the amount of carbon dioxide emissions when waste is incinerated at the incineration facility, based on the weight information of the waste loaded on the transport vehicle at the time of arrival obtained from a weight sensor installed in the incineration facility, the weight information obtained from a weight sensor mounted on the transport vehicle or the weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard, and the type of waste transported by the transport vehicle, and the amount of carbon dioxide emissions when waste is incinerated at the incineration facility 、

[0014] For example, the server could be a single physical server or multiple servers in the cloud. Furthermore, the means of acquiring location information may be any means that can acquire location information, such as receiving radio waves from at least eight of the following: multiple Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, multiple quasi-zenith orbit satellites, and geostationary orbit satellites, or obtaining the current location information of a moving object based on radio waves received from a short-range radio communication signal transmitter. [Examples]

[0015] Below, an embodiment of the present invention, consisting of a carbon dioxide emission calculation system 100 and a carbon dioxide emission calculation program, will be described with reference to Figures 1(A) to 2. Here, Figure 1(A) is an image of the current state of the carbon dioxide emission calculation system 100, which is an embodiment of the present invention, before its proposal; Figure 1(B) is an image of the proposed content of the carbon dioxide emission calculation system 100, which is an embodiment of the present invention; and Figure 2 is a chart showing an example of the operation of the carbon dioxide emission calculation program of the carbon dioxide emission calculation system 100, which is an embodiment of the present invention.

[0016] As shown in Figures 1(A) and 1(B), the carbon dioxide emission calculation system 100, which is an embodiment of the present invention, comprises a transport vehicle 110 and a server 120 that can communicate with the transport vehicle 110. Furthermore, the system is designed to calculate the difference in carbon dioxide emissions depending on whether or not there is a processing device 130 that heats or crushes waste WS as a raw material.

[0017] More specifically, as shown in Figure 1(A), currently, waste generators WD are generating waste WS through their business operations. The waste WS generated by the waste generator WD is then transported to the incineration facility CT by transport vehicle 110. The incineration facility CT incinerates the transported waste WS. Then, by being incinerated by the incineration facility CT, the waste becomes incineration products AS such as ash containing impurities. Furthermore, the incineration products AS are transported to the landfill LF by the transport vehicle 110. And the incineration products AS are landfilled in the landfill LF.

[0018] In this embodiment, the weight sensor 111 is mounted on the transport vehicle 110. Thereby, the weight information of the waste WS loaded on the transport vehicle 110 can be obtained. In addition, a weight sensor (not shown) may be installed in the incineration facility CT, similar to the weight measuring means also known as a truck scale. And the weight information of the waste WS loaded on the transport vehicle 110 when the transport vehicle arrives may be obtained from the weight sensor (truck scale) installed in the incineration facility CT. Furthermore, a weight sensor (not shown) may be installed in the stockyard of the waste disposal business operator WD. And the weight information may be obtained from the weight sensor installed in the stockyard before the transport vehicle 110 collects the waste WS. Also, a position information acquisition means 112 such as GPS is provided on the transport vehicle 110. The position information acquisition means 112 may be a car navigation system fixed to the transport vehicle 110 or a smartphone terminal capable of acquiring position information.

[0019] Furthermore, based on the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, the position information and the moving distance information obtained from the position information acquisition means 112 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, the server 120 estimates and calculates the carbon dioxide emission amount when the waste WS is transported from the waste disposal business operator WD to the incineration facility CT by the transport vehicle 110. Alternatively, instead of using the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions when transporting waste WS from the waste generator WD to the incineration facility CT by the transport vehicle 110 may be estimated and calculated using the weight information of the waste WS loaded on the transport vehicle 110 at the time of the transport vehicle's arrival, obtained from a weight sensor (truck scale) installed in the incineration facility CT, or weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard of the waste generator WD.

[0020] Furthermore, the server 120 estimates and calculates the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when the waste WS is incinerated at the incineration facility CT, based on the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110 and the type information of the waste WS being transported by the transport vehicle 110. Alternatively, instead of using the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when the waste WS is incinerated at the incineration facility CT may be estimated and calculated using the weight information of the waste WS loaded on the transport vehicle 110 upon arrival, obtained from a weight sensor (truck scale) installed in the incineration facility CT, or the weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard.

[0021] Regarding the input of waste WS type information, the administrator may input the information based on the waste WS collection request information / contact from the waste generator WD, or the driver of the transport vehicle 110 may input the information on the terminal. Furthermore, the server 120 estimates and calculates the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when the incinerated material AS is transported from the incineration facility CT to the landfill LF by the transport vehicle 110, based on the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, and the position information and travel distance information obtained from the position information acquisition means 112 mounted on the transport vehicle 110. Alternatively, instead of using the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, the weight information of the incinerated material AS loaded on the transport vehicle 110 at the time of departure, obtained from a weight sensor (truck scale) installed inside the incineration facility CT, may be used to estimate the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when the incinerated material AS is transported by the transport vehicle 110 from the incineration facility CT to the landfill LF.

[0022] Furthermore, when the server 120 processes the raw material using the processing device 130, which heats or crushes the waste WS as raw material, it estimates and calculates the amount of electricity required for processing based on the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 131 and the type of raw material information. Here, the weight of the raw material is measured by the weight sensor 131, which may be located inside the processing device 130 or outside the processing device 130. The server 120 is configured to calculate the difference between the total emissions, which are the sum of the estimated carbon dioxide emissions, and the converted carbon dioxide emissions, which are obtained by multiplying the estimated amount of electricity by a predetermined electricity emission factor (for example, 0.462 kg-CO2 / kWh).

[0023] This allows us to calculate the difference in carbon dioxide emissions between the conventional method of transporting, burning, and burying waste WS, and the proposed method of processing waste WS as raw material in the processing device 130, thereby eliminating the need to transport or burn the waste WS and instead reusing it as a resource. As a result, it is possible to visualize how much carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by installing the treatment device 130 for waste generators (WD), and propose the installation and introduction of the treatment device 130.

[0024] Furthermore, by processing the raw materials using the processing device 130, the raw materials become new resources. For example, in the processing device 130, used diapers are heated using electricity to turn them into ash, which can be used as an example of a new resource. Furthermore, new resources can be transported to other businesses, creating a resource cycle. Furthermore, the server 120 may have information on businesses that wish to receive new resources and may consider installing the processing device 130 to match waste generators WD with other businesses that can be new resource suppliers. Furthermore, when transporting resources to another business operator, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions when transporting new resources from one business operator to another using the transport vehicle 110 may be estimated and calculated based on the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, and the location information and travel distance information obtained from the location information acquisition means 112 mounted on the transport vehicle 110. In this process, the difference in carbon dioxide emissions between the conventional method of transporting, burning, and burying waste materials, and the method of recycling them and transporting new resources, will be calculated. This allows for the inclusion of carbon dioxide emissions when transporting new resources from one business to another using transport vehicles 110. As a result, the difference can be calculated with high accuracy.

[0025] Next, we will explain in detail how the carbon dioxide emissions calculation program works. As shown in Figure 2, step S1 determines whether the transport vehicle 110 is moving from the waste generator WD to the incineration facility CT. More specifically, the server 120 communicates with the transport vehicle 110 and makes a determination based on the location information obtained from the location information acquisition means 112 mounted on the transport vehicle 110. If it is determined that the object is moving, proceed to step S2; otherwise, repeat step S1.

[0026] In step S2, as the first carbon dioxide emission estimation calculation step, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions when waste WS is transported from the waste generator WD to the incineration facility CT by the transport vehicle 110 is estimated and calculated based on weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, and location information and travel distance information obtained from the location information acquisition means 112 mounted on the transport vehicle 110. In other words, the server 120 acquires the location information, distance traveled, and weight information of the transport vehicle 110 in real time.

[0027] For example, if transport vehicle 110 collects waste WS from multiple waste generators WD, the weight information will change. Server 120 will track the point at which the weight information changed. The load on the transport vehicle 110 changes due to changes in weight information, and the carbon dioxide emissions also change, but the server 120 can also monitor this. In other words, it is possible to accurately estimate and calculate the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when waste WS is transported from the waste generator WD to the incineration facility CT by transport vehicle 110. As mentioned above, instead of using the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions when transporting waste WS from waste generator WD to incineration facility CT by transport vehicle 110 may be estimated and calculated using the weight information of the waste WS loaded on the transport vehicle 110 at the time of the transport vehicle's arrival, obtained from a weight sensor (truck scale) installed in the incineration facility CT, or the weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard of waste generator WD.

[0028] In step S3, as a second carbon dioxide emission estimation step, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions when the waste WS is incinerated at the incineration facility CT is estimated and calculated based on the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110 and the type information of the waste WS transported by the transport vehicle 110. As mentioned above, information on the type of waste waste WS can be entered by the administrator, or it can be identified and entered by taking a picture of the waste WS with an image sensor.

[0029] For example, a hyperspectral camera could be used as an image sensor to identify the material of plastic waste. A hyperspectral camera is a camera that acquires wavelength information in addition to images that have two-dimensional positional information. Hyperspectral cameras can acquire wavelength information for 100 to 200 bands or more. Furthermore, each plastic material has its own distinctive reflective properties, and using a hyperspectral camera makes it possible to identify them at the raw material level, such as PET, PP, PVC, HDPE, and PS. Regarding the timing of inputting the type of waste WS, it is acceptable to do so either during transportation before arrival at the incineration facility CT, or after arrival at the incineration facility CT. Furthermore, as mentioned above, instead of using the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when the waste WS is incinerated at the incineration facility CT may be estimated and calculated using the weight information of the waste WS loaded on the transport vehicle 110 at the time of the transport vehicle's arrival, obtained from a weight sensor (truck scale) installed in the incineration facility CT, or the weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard.

[0030] In step S4, it is determined whether the transport vehicle 110 is moving from the incineration facility CT to the landfill LF. More specifically, the server 120 communicates with the transport vehicle 110 and makes a determination based on the location information obtained from the location information acquisition means 112 mounted on the transport vehicle 110. If it is determined that the object is moving, proceed to step S5; otherwise, if it is determined that the object is not yet moving, repeat step S4.

[0031] In step S5, as the third carbon dioxide emission estimation calculation step, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions when transporting incinerated material AS from the incineration facility CT to the landfill LF by the transport vehicle 110 is estimated and calculated based on weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, and position information and travel distance information obtained from the position information acquisition means 112 mounted on the transport vehicle 110. As mentioned above, instead of using the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, the weight information of the incinerated material AS loaded on the transport vehicle 110 at the time of departure, obtained from a weight sensor (truck scale) installed inside the incineration facility CT, may be used to estimate and calculate the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when the incinerated material AS is transported by the transport vehicle 110 from the incineration facility CT to the landfill LF.

[0032] In step S6, as an energy consumption estimation and calculation step, the energy consumption required for processing is estimated and calculated based on the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 131 and the type of raw material when the processing device 130, which heats or crushes the waste WS as raw material, processes the raw material. Here, the raw material type information is the same as the waste WS type information in the second carbon dioxide emission estimation step. In step S7, as a difference calculation step, the difference between the total emissions obtained by summing the estimated carbon dioxide emissions and the converted carbon dioxide emissions obtained by multiplying the estimated amount of electricity by a predetermined electricity emission factor (for example, 0.462 kg-CO2 / kWh) is calculated.

[0033] As a result, as mentioned above, the difference in carbon dioxide emissions can be calculated between the conventional method of transporting, burning, and burying waste WS, and the proposed method of processing waste WS as raw material in the processing device 130, thereby eliminating the need to transport or burn the waste WS and instead reusing it as a resource. As a result, it is possible to visualize how much carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by installing the treatment device 130 for waste generators (WD), and propose the installation and introduction of the treatment device 130.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, if the heat generated during incineration is used for power generation, the computer is instructed to perform a power generation estimation calculation step, which estimates the amount of electricity generated when the waste WS is incinerated at the incineration facility CT, based on the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110 and the type information of the waste WS transported by the transport vehicle 110. As mentioned above, instead of using the weight information obtained from the weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, the amount of electricity generated when the waste WS is incinerated at the incineration facility CT may be estimated and calculated using the weight information of the waste WS loaded on the transport vehicle 110 at the time of the transport vehicle's arrival, obtained from a weight sensor (truck scale) installed in the incineration facility CT, or the weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard of the waste generator WD. Then, in the difference calculation step described above, the difference is calculated between the total emissions obtained by summing the estimated carbon dioxide emissions, which is obtained by subtracting the converted carbon dioxide emissions obtained by multiplying the amount of electricity estimated in the power generation estimation step by a predetermined electricity emission factor (0.462 kg-CO2 / kWh), and the converted carbon dioxide emissions obtained by multiplying the estimated amount of electricity by a predetermined electricity emission factor (0.462 kg-CO2 / kWh).

[0035] This allows for the estimation of the amount of electricity generated during incineration, and this is taken into account in the difference calculation step. As a result, the difference can be calculated with high accuracy.

[0036] Furthermore, the system may be configured to estimate and calculate the amount of carbon dioxide emissions when the transport vehicle 110 returns empty from the incineration facility CT to the waste generator WD, based on the location information and travel distance information obtained from the location information acquisition means 112 mounted on the transport vehicle 110. Then, in the difference calculation step described above, the carbon dioxide emissions when returning from the incineration facility CT to the waste generator WD are added to the total emissions to calculate the difference described above. This allows for the estimation of carbon dioxide emissions when returning from the incineration facility (CT) to the waste generator (WD), and this is taken into account in the difference calculation step. As a result, the difference can be calculated with high accuracy.

[0037] Similarly, the system may be configured to estimate and calculate the amount of carbon dioxide emissions when the transport vehicle 110 returns from the landfill LF to the incineration facility CT with its cargo bed empty, based on the location information and travel distance information obtained from the location information acquisition means 112 mounted on the transport vehicle 110. Then, in the difference calculation step described above, the carbon dioxide emissions when returning from the landfill LF to the incineration facility CT are added to the total emissions to calculate the difference described above. This allows for the estimation and calculation of carbon dioxide emissions when returning from the landfill (LF) to the incineration facility (CT), and this is taken into account in the difference calculation step. As a result, the difference can be calculated with high accuracy.

[0038] The carbon dioxide emission calculation program, an embodiment of the present invention thus obtained, includes a first carbon dioxide emission estimation calculation step which estimates and calculates the carbon dioxide emissions when waste WS is transported from waste generator WD to incineration facility CT by transport vehicle 110, based on weight information of waste WS loaded on transport vehicle 110 at the time of transport vehicle arrival obtained from a weight sensor (truck scale) installed in incineration facility CT, weight information obtained from a weight sensor 111 mounted on transport vehicle 110 or weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard of waste generator WD, and position information and travel distance information obtained from a position information acquisition means 112 mounted on transport vehicle 110. A second carbon dioxide emission estimation step estimates the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when waste WS is incinerated at the incineration facility CT based on the type information of the waste WS; a third carbon dioxide emission estimation step estimates the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when the incinerated AS is transported from the incineration facility CT to the landfill LF by the transport vehicle 110, based on the weight information of the incinerated AS loaded on the transport vehicle 110 at the time of departure obtained from a weight sensor (truck scale) installed in the incineration facility CT or weight information obtained from a weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, and position information and travel distance information obtained from a position information acquisition means 112 mounted on the transport vehicle 110; an energy consumption estimation step estimates the amount of energy required for processing based on the weight information obtained from a weight sensor 131 and the type information of the raw material when the raw material is processed by a processing device 130 that heats or crushes the waste WS as raw material; a total emission amount obtained by summing the estimated carbon dioxide emission amounts; and an estimated energy consumption amount obtained by adding a predetermined electricity emission coefficient (0.By having a computer perform a difference calculation step, which involves multiplying the actual carbon dioxide emissions by 462 kg-CO2 / kWh to calculate the difference between the calculated emissions and the actual emissions, it becomes possible to visualize how much carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by installing the treatment device 130 for waste generators (WD), and to propose the installation and introduction of the treatment device 130.

[0039] Furthermore, if the heat generated during incineration is used for power generation, the computer is further instructed to perform a power generation estimation calculation step to estimate the amount of electricity generated when the waste WS is incinerated at the incineration facility CT, based on the weight information of the waste WS loaded on the transport vehicle 110 upon arrival, obtained from a weight sensor (truck scale) installed in the incineration facility CT, the weight information obtained from a weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110 or from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard, and the type information of the waste WS transported by the transport vehicle 110. In the difference calculation step, the difference can be calculated accurately by subtracting the converted carbon dioxide emissions obtained by multiplying the amount of electricity estimated in the power generation estimation calculation step by a predetermined electricity emission coefficient (0.462 kg-CO2 / kWh) from the total emissions obtained by summing the estimated carbon dioxide emissions, and the difference between this value and the converted carbon dioxide emissions obtained by multiplying the estimated amount of electricity by a predetermined electricity emission coefficient (0.462 kg-CO2 / kWh).

[0040] Furthermore, the carbon dioxide emission calculation system 100, which is an embodiment of the present invention, comprises a transport vehicle 110 and a server 120 that can communicate with the transport vehicle 110. The server 120 estimates and calculates the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when the waste WS is transported from the waste generator WD to the incineration facility CT by the transport vehicle 110, based on the weight information of the waste WS loaded on the transport vehicle 110 at the time of the transport vehicle's arrival, obtained from a weight sensor (truck scale) installed in the incineration facility CT, weight information obtained from a weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110 or weight information obtained from a weight sensor installed in the stockyard of the waste generator WD, and position information and travel distance information obtained from a position information acquisition means 112 mounted on the transport vehicle 110. Based on the weight information and the type of waste WS transported by the transport vehicle 110, the server 120 estimates the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when the waste WS is incinerated at the incineration facility CT. Based on the weight information of the incinerated material AS loaded on the transport vehicle 110 at the time of departure, obtained from a weight sensor (truck scale) installed in the incineration facility CT, or weight information obtained from a weight sensor 111 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, and the position information and travel distance information obtained from a position information acquisition means 112 mounted on the transport vehicle 110, the server 120 estimates the amount of carbon dioxide emitted when the incinerated material AS is transported by the transport vehicle 110 from the incineration facility CT to the landfill LF. Based on the weight information obtained from a weight sensor 131 and the type of raw material information when the raw material is processed by the processing device 130 that heats or crushes the waste WS as raw material, the server 120 estimates the amount of electricity required for processing. The server 120 then calculates the total amount of carbon dioxide emissions obtained by summing the estimated amounts of carbon dioxide emissions and the estimated amount of electricity with a predetermined electricity emission coefficient (0.The system is configured to calculate the difference between the calculated carbon dioxide emissions (calculated by multiplying by 462 kg-CO2 / kWh) and the actual emissions. This allows waste generators (WD) to visualize how much carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by installing the treatment device 130, enabling them to propose its installation and implementation. The effect is significant. [Explanation of Symbols]
