Methods for calculating the contribution of greenhouse gas reduction

Abstract

One aspect of the present invention is to provide a method for calculating the contribution of greenhouse gas reduction, which is performed by a calculation device having an emission calculation unit, a reduction contribution calculation unit and a quota memory unit, and includes the following steps (A) to (E), wherein the greenhouse gas is methane. Step (A): Calculating the amount of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere caused by industrial activities using the aforementioned emission calculation unit; Step (B): Calculating the amount of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere caused by the aforementioned industrial activities for which a solution has been applied using the aforementioned emission calculation unit, wherein the aforementioned solution is a technology that converts the aforementioned methane into heat energy; Step (C): Calculating the reduction contribution of the aforementioned greenhouse gas obtained by the aforementioned solution using the aforementioned reduction contribution calculation unit, based on the difference between the amount of greenhouse gas emissions calculated in step (A) and the amount of greenhouse gas emissions calculated in step (B); Step (D): Converting the reduction contribution of the aforementioned greenhouse gas calculated in step (C) into a reduction contribution of carbon dioxide using the aforementioned reduction contribution calculation unit; and Step (E): Memory storing the reduction contribution of carbon dioxide converted in step (D) as a quota using the aforementioned quota memory unit.
