[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] It should be noted that various aspects of the embodiments within the scope of the appended claims are described below. It should be apparent that the aspects described herein may be embodied in a wide variety of forms, and any specific structure and / or function described herein is merely illustrative. Based on the present disclosure, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that an aspect described herein may be implemented independently of any other aspect, and two or more of these aspects may be combined in various ways. For example, any number of aspects described herein may be used to implement the device and / or practice the method. In addition, other structures and / or functionalities other than one or more of the aspects described herein may be used to implement this device and / or practice this method.

[0044] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is an exemplary diagram of the architecture of an aviation passenger carbon offset system according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the system may include a carbon offset server 101, a communication network 102 and / or one or more carbon offset clients 103. Figure 1 The example shown is a plurality of carbon offset clients 103 .

[0045] The carbon offset server 101 can be any appropriate server for storing information, data, programs and / or any other suitable type of content. In some embodiments, the carbon offset server 101 can perform appropriate functions. For example, in some embodiments, the carbon offset server 101 can be used to calculate the carbon emissions of flight cabins and provide carbon offset services. As an optional example, in some embodiments, the carbon offset server 101 can be used to: collect flight data, calculate the carbon emissions of flight cabins based on the collected flight data, and publish flight cabin carbon emission services; obtain carbon offset products, review and store the obtained carbon offset products, and publish carbon offset product services; users initiate carbon offset product transaction needs, and conduct carbon offset product transactions by calling carbon offset product services and flight cabin carbon emission services.

[0046] As another example, in some embodiments, the carbon offset server 101 may send the airline passenger carbon offset method to the carbon offset client 103 for the user to use based on the request of the carbon offset client 103 .

[0047] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is an example diagram of the architecture of a carbon offset server of an aviation passenger carbon offset system according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the carbon offset service end of this embodiment is composed of a carbon emission calculation module, a carbon offset product module and a carbon offset product trading module.

[0048] The carbon emission calculation module of this embodiment is used to collect flight data, calculate the carbon emissions of flight cabins based on the collected flight data, and publish flight cabin carbon emission services. As an optional example, the carbon emission calculation module of this embodiment is composed of a data collection and publishing component, a carbon offset calculation component, a data statistical analysis component, a flight record database, and a flight cabin carbon emission service publishing component.

[0049] For example, the data collection and publishing component of this embodiment is used to collect flight data, such as receiving rule file data entered or uploaded by the data administrator through the WEB, and performing a legality check on the received file data. The collected flight data includes: flight departure, destination, flight date, flight model, cabin configuration, flight mileage, actual flight time, actual fuel consumption, number of cabin passengers, and mail and cargo weight. For other configuration parameters, refer to the IATA carbon emission calculation method: the cabin weight coefficient of each aircraft model, the average weight of a single passenger and his / her checked baggage is 100KG, and the carbon emission factor is 3.16kg CO2 / kg fuel.

[0050] The carbon offset calculation component of this embodiment is used to calculate the average carbon emissions of the flight cabin. For example, the carbon offset calculation component of this embodiment performs carbon offset calculation in the following manner:

[0051] Passenger-cargo mass ratio:

[0052]

[0053] Total carbon emissions of passengers (kg CO2):

[0054] T = total fuel consumption (kg) × carbon emission factor × passenger-cargo mass ratio R;

[0055] Carbon emissions by slot allocation:

[0056]

[0057] The carbon offset calculation component of this embodiment can also call the data of the data statistics analysis component and the carbon trading API connection service component to calculate the quotes of various carbon offset projects and the inventory control of carbon offset products. It should be noted that the calculation component of this embodiment does not support the input of specific aircraft models. Once the flight itinerary is determined, the scheduled flight information in the flight time period in the database can be compared to obtain all aircraft models flying on this itinerary (some aircraft models can be approximately considered equivalent), and the fuel consumption is calculated through different passenger and cargo ratios and carrying capacity relationships, and then the carbon emissions of the cabin are calculated by weighted average according to the take-off frequency ratio.

[0058] In practical applications, the calculation model of the carbon offset calculation component of this embodiment refers to the ICAO Carbon Emissions Calculator Methodology standard, based on statistical historical flight data, by introducing more variables (such as passenger load factor, cabin weight, etc.) to improve the accuracy of passenger carbon emission calculation, and can also use real-time data analysis to more dynamically and accurately estimate the passenger's carbon footprint.

[0059] The flight record database of this embodiment is used to store the collected flight data and the calculated flight cabin carbon emissions. The data statistical analysis component reads the stored flight data and the calculated flight cabin carbon emissions from the flight record database, and regularly counts the carbon emissions of each cabin of the flight. For example, the per capita emissions of different cabins of different itineraries of various flight models are counted by time dimensions such as month, quarter, and year. The flight cabin carbon emissions service publishing component is used to provide flight cabin carbon emissions services to the outside world by publishing the flight cabin carbon emissions service interface.

[0060] The carbon offset product module of this embodiment is used to obtain carbon offset products, review and store the obtained carbon offset products, and publish carbon offset product services. For example, the carbon offset product module of this embodiment is used to maintain carbon offset product information through airline managers, call the inquiry service of the carbon offset calculation component, and provide the carbon offset product trading module with the information for sales.

[0061] As an optional example, the carbon offset product module of this embodiment is composed of a carbon offset product acquisition component, a carbon offset product review component, a product database, and a carbon offset product service publishing component.

[0062] For example, the carbon offset product acquisition component of this embodiment is used to connect to a third-party carbon trading platform and obtain carbon offset products through an API interface. For example, through the API interface, connect to a third-party carbon trading platform or a developer of a carbon offset project to obtain carbon pricing data, purchase a corresponding amount of carbon offsets, and trade airline carbon assets. The carbon offset product review component is used to review the acquired carbon offset products and store the carbon offset products that have passed the review in the product database. The product database is used to store carbon offset products that have passed the review. The carbon offset product service publishing component is used to provide carbon offset product services to the outside world by publishing a carbon offset service interface.

[0063] The carbon offset product trading module is used for users to initiate carbon offset product trading needs and conduct carbon offset product trading by calling carbon offset product services and flight cabin carbon emission services. For example, the carbon offset product trading module of this embodiment enables passengers to edit and select and purchase carbon offset products. Through this module, passengers can generate carbon offset orders and make payments, etc. At the same time, this module can record the carbon offset amount and passenger information of each order in detail to ensure the transparency and traceability of the carbon offset process.

[0064] As an optional example, the carbon offset product trading module of this embodiment is composed of a carbon offset query component, a carbon offset reservation component, a transaction database, an order payment component, and an order record generation component. Among them, the carbon offset query component is used to receive carbon offset product transaction requirements initiated by users, and call carbon offset product services and flight cabin carbon emission services to select corresponding carbon offset products. The carbon offset reservation component is used to reserve the selected carbon offset product. The transaction database is used to store the reserved carbon offset products. The order payment component is used to pay for the reserved carbon offset product. The order record generation component is used to generate order records for the paid carbon offset product orders, and the order records include the carbon offset amount and user information of each order.

[0065] As an optional example, in some embodiments, the carbon offset client 103 is used to provide a visual carbon offset interface, which is used to receive a user's carbon offset selection input operation, and, in response to the selection input operation, obtain a carbon offset interface corresponding to the option selected by the selection input operation from the carbon offset server 101 and display the carbon offset interface, wherein the carbon offset interface at least displays carbon offset information and operation options for the carbon offset information.

[0066] In some embodiments, the communication network 102 can be any suitable combination of one or more wired and / or wireless networks. For example, the communication network 102 can include any one or more of the following: the Internet, an intranet, a wide area network (WAN), a local area network (LAN), a wireless network, a digital subscriber line (DSL) network, a frame relay network, an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network, a virtual private network (VPN), and / or any other suitable communication network. The carbon offset client 103 can be connected to the communication network 102 via one or more communication links (e.g., communication link 104), and the communication network 102 can be linked to the carbon offset server 101 via one or more communication links (e.g., communication link 105). The communication link can be any communication link suitable for transmitting data between the carbon offset client 103 and the carbon offset server 101, such as a network link, a dial-up link, a wireless link, a hard-wired link, any other suitable communication link, or any suitable combination of such links.

[0067] The carbon offset client 103 may include any one or more clients that present an interface related to carbon offset in an appropriate form for use and operation by a user. In some embodiments, the carbon offset client 103 may include any suitable type of device. For example, in some embodiments, the carbon offset client 103 may include a mobile device, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, and / or any other suitable type of client device.

[0068] Although the carbon offset server 101 is illustrated as one device, in some embodiments, any suitable number of devices may be used to perform the functions performed by the carbon offset server 101. For example, in some embodiments, multiple devices may be used to implement the functions performed by the carbon offset server 101. Alternatively, a cloud service may be used to implement the functions of the carbon offset server 101.

[0069] Based on the above system, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for carbon offsetting of airline passengers, which is described below through the following embodiments.

[0070] Figure 3is a flowchart of the steps of a method for carbon offsetting of airline passengers according to an embodiment of the present application. The method for carbon offsetting of airline passengers in this embodiment can be executed at a carbon offset server, such as Figure 3 As shown, the air passenger carbon offset method includes the following steps:

[0071] Step S201: collecting flight data, calculating flight cabin carbon emissions based on the collected flight data, and publishing flight cabin carbon emissions services.

[0072] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is an example diagram of an execution of a method for carbon offsetting of airline passengers according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, as an optional example, the flight data collected by this embodiment includes flight field data and corresponding configuration information, wherein the flight data includes flight date, departure place, destination, flight number, flight model, flight mileage, flight time, fuel consumption, mail and cargo weight, and the number of passengers in each cabin, and the configuration information includes cabin configuration, cabin weight coefficient, carbon emission factor, and the average weight of a single passenger and his / her checked baggage. For example, the flight field data collected by this embodiment is shown in Table 1, and the configuration information collected by this embodiment is shown in Table 2.

[0073] Table 1

[0074]

[0075] Table 2

[0076]

[0077] It should be noted that when implementing the method of this embodiment, other required data may be selected according to the actual application scenario, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0078] After collecting flight data, this embodiment calculates the carbon emissions of the flight cabin according to the collected flight data. Specifically, this embodiment calculates the passenger-cargo mass ratio according to the number of cabin passengers, the average weight of a single passenger and his / her checked baggage, and the mail and cargo weight; calculates the total passenger carbon emissions according to the total fuel consumption, the carbon emission factor, and the passenger-cargo mass ratio; and calculates the per capita carbon emissions of each flight cabin according to the number of cabin passengers, cabin weight, and the total passenger carbon emissions.

[0079] For example, this embodiment performs carbon offset calculation in the following manner:

[0080] Passenger-cargo mass ratio:

[0081]

[0082] Total carbon emissions of passengers (kg CO2):

[0083] T = total fuel consumption (kg) × carbon emission factor × passenger-cargo mass ratio R;

[0084] Carbon emissions by slot allocation:

[0085]

[0086] In this embodiment, the collected flight data and the calculated carbon emissions of the flight cabins are stored in the flight record database, the stored flight data and the carbon emissions of the flight cabins are read from the flight record database, and the carbon emissions of the flight cabins are counted regularly. For example, this embodiment uses a background thread to count the average carbon emissions of each route, aircraft type, flight number, and cabin on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis in the form of a scheduled task, and writes them into the flight record database.

[0087] By publishing the flight cabin carbon emissions service interface, we provide flight cabin carbon emissions services to the outside world.

[0088] Step S202: Acquire carbon offset products, review and store the acquired carbon offset products, and publish carbon offset product services externally.

[0089] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is another example diagram of an execution of a method for carbon offsetting of airline passengers according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5As shown, as an optional example, this embodiment connects to a third-party carbon trading platform, obtains carbon offset products through an API interface, reviews the obtained carbon offset products, stores the reviewed carbon offset products in the product database, and provides carbon offset product services to the outside by publishing a carbon offset service interface. The carbon offset product service includes carbon offset query and carbon offset trading. For example, this embodiment connects to a third-party carbon trading platform or a developer of a carbon offset project, obtains carbon pricing data, purchases a corresponding amount of carbon offsets, and airline carbon asset transactions through an API interface. Airline managers maintain / review carbon offset product information, such as basic product information, product models, product rules, carbon offset implementation instructions, flight time periods based on carbon emissions (such as within the past year), query carbon unit prices, inventory management, etc. For example, the carbon offset product service interface published by this embodiment includes at least carbon offset query, reservation, and cancellation services for product trading calls. Taking query as an example, first query the product database, and then call the flight cabin carbon emission interface to implement carbon offset query calculation. It should be noted that the query calculation does not support passing in specific aircraft models. Once the flight itinerary is determined, it will automatically compare the scheduled flight information within the flight time period in the database to obtain all aircraft models operating on this itinerary (some models can be approximately considered equivalent), and calculate the fuel consumption through different passenger and cargo ratios and carrying capacity relationships, and then calculate the carbon emissions of the cabin space by taking a weighted average based on the proportion of its take-off frequency.

[0090] Step S203: The user initiates a carbon offset product transaction demand, and conducts a carbon offset product transaction by calling the carbon offset product service and the flight cabin carbon emission service.

[0091] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is another example diagram of an execution of a method for carbon offsetting of airline passengers according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6 As shown, as an optional example, in this embodiment, the user initiates a carbon offset product transaction demand, selects the corresponding carbon offset product by calling the carbon offset product service and the flight cabin carbon emission service, and reserves and pays for the selected carbon offset product. After the user reserves the carbon offset product, the reserved carbon offset product is stored in the transaction database, and an order record is generated for the paid carbon offset product order, which includes the carbon offset amount and user information of each order.

[0092] For example, a passenger initiates a carbon offset product query in the airline transaction system, selects a carbon offset product, and makes a reservation and payment. This embodiment will record the carbon offset amount and passenger information of each order in detail to ensure the transparency and traceability of the carbon offset process. Call the published carbon offset product service interface to implement passenger carbon offset, taking the carbon offset of the itinerary donation mode as an example:

[0093] 1. Passengers need to enter the departure and destination of the trip, the number of passengers, and the cabin to query the carbon offset products donated for the trip. The query interface returns the product name, description information, product rules, carbon emissions, price, etc.

[0094] 2. Order generation and payment: Generate a detailed order including the carbon offset amount and provide multiple payment methods to facilitate passengers to complete the payment; after the payment is successful, call the reservation interface to deduct the carbon offset inventory.

[0095] 3. Order Inquiry: Each carbon offset order will record detailed data such as carbon offset amount and passenger information to ensure that all transactions are traceable and increase transparency.

[0096] This embodiment can display carbon offset products to users and conduct real-time carbon offset progress tracking, so that passengers can check the progress of carbon offset implementation at any time.

[0097] In practical applications, the method and system for carbon offsetting of airline passengers in this embodiment have the following beneficial technical effects:

[0098] 1. Transparent and accurate carbon emission calculation: By using advanced data collection and analysis technology, combined with the carbon emission calculation model of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), a standardized and reliable carbon emission calculation tool can be provided for airlines and passengers. The model has the ability to dynamically adjust and can be continuously updated according to the actual operation of the flight and the changes in the operating paradigm to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the calculation results. It can more accurately calculate the average carbon emissions of a certain cabin on a certain route over a certain period of time.

[0099] 2. Convenient carbon offset solutions: Based on accurate carbon emission calculation results, it provides users with a variety of carbon offset options, including carbon credit purchase, trip donation, tree planting projects, etc., and provides personalized suggestions based on user preferences and budgets. The system is designed with a user-friendly interface so that travelers can easily select and implement carbon offset solutions.

[0100] 3. Transparent tracking and feedback: Provide real-time carbon offset progress tracking function, and generate detailed carbon emission reports and feedback on offset implementation for users, enhancing user trust and participation.

[0101] 4. Public education and publicity: Carry out extensive publicity and education activities through various channels to enhance public awareness of aviation carbon emissions and their impacts, increase understanding and trust in carbon offset projects, enhance public environmental awareness and participation, and encourage more people to choose low-carbon travel modes.

[0103] 6. Modular design of business processes: Modular design facilitates expansion and maintenance, and can adapt to changing business needs and technological advances.

[0104] By implementing this application, it will not only help mitigate the impact of climate change, but also enhance the competitiveness and social responsibility of airlines and meet passengers' demand for green travel.
