Systems and methods for providing carbon offsets

Abstract

Method and system for providing carbon offsets. For example, the method includes collecting mindful driving data for one or more vehicle trips made by a user, analyzing the mindful driving data to determine a level of mindful driving of the user, determining a level of carbon offset reward based at least in part upon the level of mindful driving of the user, determining an amount of total carbon emission of the user, and providing an amount of carbon offset reward based at least in part upon the level of carbon offset reward and the amount of total carbon emission.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 899,038, filed Sep. 11, 2019, incorporated by reference herein for all purposes.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]Some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to providing carbon offsets. More particularly, certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and systems for offering carbon offsets to compensate for carbon emissions generated during a user's vehicle trips. Merely by way of example, the present disclosure has been applied to offering carbon offsets based at least in part upon the user's mindful driving. But it would be recognized that the present disclosure has much broader range of applicability.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0003]Carbon emissions from vehicles represent a major contributor to climate change. While new vehicle technologies have been developed to curb carbon emissions, the continued use of vehicles for private trans...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

While new vehicle technologies have been developed to curb carbon emissions, the continued use of vehicles for private transportation will cause the amount of carbon emissions to remain high or even increase.
