Description

A method for intelligent industrial carbon metering, reliable storage, and rapid verification. Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of carbon metering and carbon verification technology application, specifically involving a method for intelligent industrial carbon metering, reliable storage, and rapid verification. Background Technology

[0002] For businesses to reduce carbon emissions, the first step is to accurately assess their carbon footprint. This requires reliable carbon measurement to create a precise carbon footprint of their operations. Carbon measurement is the process of measuring and calculating carbon emissions, ensuring accurate and reliable data. By measuring emissions, carbon data can be used to macroscopically evaluate the development of a low-carbon economy in society and microscopically reflect the effectiveness of energy conservation and emission reduction efforts by individual businesses. Carbon measurement is a prerequisite for greenhouse gas emission reporting, verification, and carbon emissions trading. It provides the technological and data support for carbon reduction, carbon peaking, and carbon neutrality; and it is a crucial foundation for implementing green development principles and achieving high-quality economic development.

[0003] The authenticity of carbon measurement data is a prerequisite for subsequent carbon-related work. To address potential issues with current carbon measurement data and avoid human-induced false biases, it is necessary to add a "carbon verification" step to verify and confirm the carbon measurement data. This verification is typically conducted by the government or independent third-party verification agencies. On March 29, 2021, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment also issued the "Guidelines for Verification of Enterprise Greenhouse Gas Emission Reports (Trial)," defining carbon verification as "the process of comprehensively verifying and confirming the greenhouse gas emissions and related information reported by key emitting entities, based on industry greenhouse gas emission accounting methods, reporting guidelines, and relevant technical specifications."

[0004] It can be said that carbon measurement should take the lead in the path of low-carbon development, but the current carbon measurement and carbon verification process still has many problems and drawbacks, such as low reliability of carbon data due to frequent human tampering and data loss, low efficiency of manual verification and proofreading, and data complexity that makes it difficult to trace. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for intelligent industrial carbon metering, reliable storage, and rapid verification, overcoming the shortcomings of existing carbon metering and verification processes.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] A method for intelligent industrial carbon metering, trusted storage, and rapid verification is applied to a carbon metering verification system. The carbon metering verification system includes a carbon metering verification platform, a first blockchain network, and a second blockchain network. The carbon metering verification platform is communicatively connected to both the first and second blockchain networks. The first blockchain network includes several blockchain enterprise nodes, which are communicatively connected to each other. The second blockchain network includes several blockchain verification agency nodes, which are communicatively connected to each other.

[0029] The method for trusted storage and rapid verification of intelligent industrial carbon measurement includes the trusted storage of carbon measurement results by blockchain enterprise nodes and the generation of carbon chain codes, as well as the verification of carbon measurement results by blockchain verification agency nodes.

[0030] In this invention, the enterprise-side carbon measurement responsible person needs to register on the carbon measurement verification platform using a terminal device in order to act as a blockchain enterprise node and participate in the communication of the first blockchain network, as well as the uploading of various information and carbon chain codes. The verification agency responsible person needs to register on the carbon measurement verification platform using a terminal device in order to act as a blockchain verification agency node, participate in the communication of the second blockchain network, obtain carbon chain codes within the verification scope, and generate verification reports for uploading to the blockchain.

[0031] Referring to Figure 1, the specific steps for reliably storing carbon measurement results and generating carbon chain codes are as follows:

[0032] Step 1: Blockchain enterprise nodes regularly fill in and upload basic enterprise information and carbon emission-related information on the carbon measurement and verification platform.

[0033] In this invention, the basic information will change in different reporting periods, so it is necessary to report and update it regularly. The carbon measurement reporting work is carried out in a certain time period, usually with the month as the smallest period unit.

[0034] Step 1.1: The person in charge of enterprise carbon measurement logs into the system during the reporting period and fills in the basic information of the enterprise on the carbon measurement verification platform, including legal person information, information of the person filling in the information, and enterprise production information. Specifically, this includes, but is not limited to, the legal person information or organizational information of the enterprise, the name of the person filling in the information, the contact information of the person filling in the information, the factory layout map, the equipment ledger information, and the reporting time range. After the basic information of the enterprise is confirmed to be on the blockchain, the information will be updated synchronously on each blockchain enterprise node.

[0035] Step 1.2: The enterprise's carbon measurement manager will collect and integrate the relevant carbon measurement information and upload it to the blockchain. Specifically, this includes the following steps:

[0036] Step 1.2.1: Set the enterprise's carbon measurement boundaries and put them on the blockchain, including organizational boundaries and operational boundaries;

[0037] Step 1.2.2: Based on the established carbon measurement boundaries, fill in the direct carbon emission data, including raw material procurement data, direct monitoring and collection data, and the industry standards on which they are based.

[0038] Step 1.2.3: Based on the established carbon measurement boundaries, fill in the indirect carbon emission data, including purchased electricity (heat) data, industry conversion formulas and factors, and financial invoice data, etc.

[0039] In this invention, the measurement of a company's carbon dioxide emissions first requires defining the measurement boundaries. The first boundary is the organizational boundary. Companies have different legal and organizational structures, including wholly-owned subsidiaries, joint ventures, and subsidiaries. Determining the organizational boundary allows for the selection of a reasonable carbon measurement data merging method based on the organizational structure and the relationships between various parties, avoiding over-counting or omissions. After determining the organizational boundary, the operational boundary needs to be confirmed, identifying emissions related to operational processes and classifying them into direct and indirect emission categories. Once the boundary-related data is entered and confirmed on the blockchain, the information will be synchronously updated on the blockchain enterprise node. Finally, based on the established corporate carbon measurement boundaries, direct and indirect carbon emission data are separately entered and entered on the blockchain.

[0040] Direct carbon emissions from enterprises refer to emissions from sources owned or controlled by the enterprise, such as emissions generated by the company's process equipment during chemical production or combustion emissions from boilers, vehicles, etc. owned by the company. Indirect carbon emissions refer to emissions caused by the company's activities but occurring at emission sources owned or controlled by other companies, such as emissions from electricity or heat purchased by the enterprise. Data related to both direct and indirect carbon emission measurement will be entered into the blockchain.

[0041] Step 2: The carbon measurement and verification platform reads the on-chain information of the enterprise's carbon measurement node, generates the corresponding carbon chain code, and stores it on the chain. Specifically, this includes the following steps:

[0042] Step 2.1: Read the on-chain information of the enterprise-side carbon metering node through the carbon metering verification platform. After successful reading, the blockchain enterprise node selects the on-chain information and generates a carbon chain code.

[0043] Step 2.2: Associate the carbon chain code with the reporting cycle time and store it on the blockchain.

[0044] In step 2.1, all on-chain information is generally selected by default to generate a carbon chain code. The carbon chain code is a QR code. Enterprise on-chain data information can generate carbon chain codes according to verification specifications or any custom rules. After successful generation, the carbon chain code will be displayed on the platform and stored on the blockchain.

[0045] This invention completes the reporting of carbon measurement results through steps 1 and 2. The blockchain enterprise node completes the data update within the cycle and exits the system.

[0046] In this invention, after being uploaded to the blockchain, each process must undergo on-chain update confirmation. If the update is successful, the process returns to the next step; if the update fails, a prompt is given and the process is resynchronized.

[0047] Referring to Figure 2, the specific steps for verifying the carbon measurement results are as follows:

[0048] Step 1: Blockchain verification agency nodes regularly fill in and upload basic information about the verification agency and the scope of verification information on the carbon measurement verification platform.

[0049] In this invention, the basic information of the verification agency includes, but is not limited to, the qualifications of the verification agency, the information of the client, and the information of the verification team members; the scope of verification information includes the information of the company being verified.

[0050] In this invention, the basic information of the verification agency and the scope of verification may change for different verification items, so it is necessary to fill in and update the information regularly.

[0051] Step 2: Verify the verification authority for the basic information of the verification agency and the scope of verification.

[0052] In this invention, before verification, the backend administrator of the carbon measurement and verification platform manually reviews and verifies the basic information and scope of verification of the verification agency to determine whether it has verification authority. After verification, the carbon measurement and verification platform pushes the carbon chain code of the verified company from the blockchain for verification personnel to view. To protect the company's trade secrets, some attribute data can be set to privacy protection. After scanning the code, access must be verified before viewing, thus avoiding the leakage of the company's core data assets.

[0053] Step 3: The blockchain verification agency node obtains the corresponding basic enterprise information and carbon emission information based on at least one carbon chain code within the verification scope pushed by the carbon metering verification platform, conducts verification, generates corresponding verification reports according to the client's requirements or industry requirements, and updates them synchronously to the blockchain verification agency node.

[0054] In this invention, no blockchain verification agency node can obtain carbon chain codes other than those of the verified enterprise. The carbon measurement and verification platform supports custom time for carbon chain code filtering.

[0055] In this invention, scanning the acquired carbon chain code can obtain on-chain information of the enterprise-side carbon metering node within the verification period. The on-chain information can be traced based on calculation formulas or standards. By cross-checking the source data and supporting data information, anomalies in carbon emission measurement can be found.

[0056] Each of the above steps requires on-chain update confirmation. If the update is successful, proceed to the next step; if the update fails, a prompt will be displayed, and resynchronization will be required.

[0057] In summary, this invention introduces blockchain technology to ensure the reliable storage and sharing of carbon measurement results, and designs and generates carbon chain codes from the on-chain data, which are then interacted with externally in the form of QR codes. Enterprises and third-party verification agencies can quickly and conveniently access, query, calculate, trace, and verify the enterprise's carbon measurement-related data by scanning the codes.
