[0002] To promote the optimal allocation and rational flow of electricity resources, my country has advanced electricity market reform nationwide, establishing a multi-tiered electricity market system encompassing inter-regional, inter-provincial, and provincial levels. Inter-provincial electricity spot trading is a new type of inter-provincial and inter-regional resource sharing mechanism. However, current inter-provincial electricity spot trading faces challenges in tracking carbon emission data. This is because inter-provincial electricity spot trading involves multiple stakeholders and markets, requiring clarification of each party's carbon emission responsibilities and rights, as well as the allocation and transfer of carbon emission rights during the trading process.
[0003] To address this issue, this invention proposes a blockchain-based method, system, and device for tracking the carbon footprint of inter-provincial spot transactions. Summary of the Invention
