[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an information processing device, an information processing system, an information processing method, and a program regarding emissions of environmentally hazardous substances. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, as environmental problems have become more serious, various laws related to decarbonization have been enacted. Under these circumstances, it is urgent for each company to reduce CO2 emissions in order to continue its business activities. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an environmental measure support system that accepts input of various conditions such as reduction targets, and generates and displays reduction plans that meet the accepted conditions. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-164754 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] There are various measures for reducing CO2 emissions, and effective reduction plans vary depending on the circumstances of each company, such as the company's industry or the facilities it owns. When generating effective reduction plans for a target company using the environmental measures support system described in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to accept a huge amount of input and determine whether each reduction plan meets the conditions. This poses a problem of a heavy input burden on the user. The above-mentioned problem applies not only to cases where the target for reduction is CO2, but also to other environmentally hazardous substances.

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present disclosure is to provide an information processing device, an information processing system, an information processing method, and a program that can reduce the input burden on a user when considering measures to reduce emissions of environmentally hazardous substances. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] An information processing device according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a control unit. The control unit executes a first selection step, a second selection step, a receiving step, and a display control step. In the first selection step, the control unit selects a plurality of first policy candidates from a plurality of policies related to emission reduction based on first input information related to emissions of environmentally hazardous substances received from a user. In the second selection step, the control unit selects, as a second policy candidate, a first policy candidate from the plurality of first policy candidates that can accept second input information from the user based on priority information indicating the priority among the plurality of first policy candidates. In the receiving step, the control unit receives, from the user, second input information corresponding to at least a portion of the second policy candidate. In the display control step, the control unit displays, on a display unit of a user terminal operated by the user, information related to an adopted policy determined from the second policy candidate based on the received second input information.

[0007] An information processing system according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes an information processing device having a control unit and a user terminal operated by a user having a display unit. The control unit executes a first selection step, a second selection step, a receiving step, and a display control step. In the first selection step, the control unit selects multiple first policy candidates from multiple policies related to emission reduction based on first input information related to emissions of environmentally hazardous substances received from the user. In the second selection step, the control unit selects, as second policy candidates, first policy candidates that can accept second input information from the user from the multiple first policy candidates based on priority information indicating the priority among the multiple first policy candidates. In the receiving step, the control unit receives, from the user, second input information corresponding to at least a portion of the second policy candidates. In the display control step, the control unit transmits information related to the adopted policy selected from the second policy candidates based on the received second input information to the user terminal. The user terminal then displays the information related to the adopted policy on the display unit.

[0008] An information processing method according to one aspect of the present disclosure is executed by an information processing device. The information processing method includes a first selection step, a second selection step, a receiving step, and a display control step. In the first selection step, the information processing device selects a plurality of first policy candidates from a plurality of policies related to emission reduction based on first input information related to emissions of environmentally hazardous substances received from the user. In the second selection step, the information processing device selects, as a second policy candidate, a first policy candidate that can accept second input information from the user from the plurality of first policy candidates based on priority information indicating the priority among the plurality of first policy candidates. In the receiving step, the information processing device receives, from the user, the second input information corresponding to at least a portion of the second policy candidate. In the display control step, the information processing device displays, on a display unit of a user terminal operated by the user, information regarding an adopted policy determined from the second policy candidates based on the received second input information.

[0009] A program according to one aspect of the present disclosure causes an information processing device to execute a first selection step, a second selection step, a receiving step, and a display control step. In the first selection step, the information processing device selects a plurality of first policy candidates from a plurality of policies related to emission reduction based on first input information related to emissions of environmentally hazardous substances received from a user. In the second selection step, the information processing device selects, as a second policy candidate, a first policy candidate that can accept second input information from the user from the plurality of first policy candidates based on priority information indicating the priority among the plurality of first policy candidates. In the receiving step, the information processing device receives, from the user, the second input information corresponding to at least a portion of the second policy candidate. In the display control step, the information processing device displays, on a display unit of a user terminal operated by the user, information regarding an adopted policy determined from the second policy candidates based on the received second input information.

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same or corresponding elements are designated by the same reference numerals, and for clarity of explanation, duplicate explanations will be omitted as necessary.

[0013] 1. Hardware Configuration In this section, the hardware configuration of the information processing system according to this embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of the information processing system 1.

[0014] 1.1 Information Processing System 1 The information processing system 1 is a computer system that supports the creation of a plan for reducing emissions of environmentally hazardous substances. Here, an environmentally hazardous substance is a substance that has some effect on the environment. In this embodiment, the environmentally hazardous substance is described as a greenhouse gas, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2). However, the environmentally hazardous substance is not limited to this, and may be NOx, SOx, waste, sewage, or the like. A plan for reducing emissions of environmentally hazardous substances is called a reduction plan.

[0015] The information processing system 1 includes an information processing device 2 and a user terminal 3. The information processing device 2 and the user terminal 3 are communicably connected to each other via a network NW such as the Internet. Note that although the information processing system 1 is illustrated in FIG. 1 as including one user terminal 3, the number of user terminals 3 may be two or more.

[0016] 1.2 User terminal 3 The user terminal 3 is a computer terminal operated by a user of an organization that is considering measures to reduce CO2 emissions. The user is a person who belongs to the organization that is considering the measures, and may be, for example, a company manager, an employee, or a consultant who proposes a reduction plan to the company. Hereinafter, the organization that is considering the measures will be referred to as the target organization. For example, the user terminal 3 is a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, or other communication terminal that is capable of input and output.

[0017] 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the user terminal 3. The user terminal 3 includes a control unit 31, a communication unit 35, a storage unit 36, an input unit 37, and a display unit 38, and these components are electrically connected via a communication bus inside the user terminal 3. The control unit 31 includes a processor 32, a ROM 33, and a RAM 34. The control unit 31, the communication unit 35, and the storage unit 36 ​​are substantially similar to the control unit 21, the communication unit 25, and the storage unit 26 in the information processing device 2, which will be described later, and therefore will not be described here.

[0018] The input unit 37 may be included in the housing of the user terminal 3, or may be externally attached. For example, the input unit 37 may be integrated with the display unit 38 and implemented as a touch panel. Of course, switch buttons, a mouse, a QWERTY keyboard, or the like may be used instead of a touch panel. That is, the input unit 37 accepts operation inputs made by the user. The inputs are transferred as command signals to the control unit 31 via a communication bus, and the control unit 31 can execute predetermined control or calculations as necessary.

[0019] The display unit 38 may be, for example, included in the housing of the user terminal 3 or may be externally attached. The display unit 38 displays a graphical user interface (GUI) screen that can be operated by the user. This is preferably implemented by selectively using display devices such as a CRT display, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or a plasma display depending on the type of user terminal 3.

[0020] 1.3 Information processing device 2 The information processing device 2 is a computer that assists in considering measures to reduce CO2 emissions and creating a reduction plan.

[0021] 3 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the information processing device 2. The information processing device 2 includes a control unit 21, a communication unit 25, a storage unit 26, and an input unit 27, and these components are electrically connected within the information processing device 2 via a communication bus.

[0022] The control unit 21 includes a processor 22, a ROM 23, and a RAM 24. The processor 22 executes programs stored in the ROM 23 or the storage unit 26 to realize various functions. Each function will be described in detail in the next section. The ROM 23 is a non-transitory storage medium such as a read-only memory (ROM), and pre-stores various programs or data for the processor 22 to perform various controls or calculations. The RAM 24 is a volatile storage medium such as a random access memory (RAM), and is a storage area for temporarily holding information when the processor 22 is operating. Areas for performing various processes according to this embodiment can be secured in the RAM 24.

[0023] The communication unit 25 is a communication interface for connecting to the network NW. The storage unit 26 is a storage device including a non-transitory computer-readable medium or a tangible storage medium.

[0024] The input unit 27 is omitted because it is substantially the same as the input unit 37 in the above-described user terminal 3. Note that the input unit 27 is not essential for the information processing device 2.

[0025] 2. Functional configuration In this section, the functional configuration of the information processing device 2 will be described. 4 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the information processing device 2. The control unit 21 of the information processing device 2 executes a program to realize the functions of a reception unit 211, a first selection unit 212, a second selection unit 213, a determination unit 214, and a display control unit 215.

[0026] The reception unit 211 receives input of various information from the user. That is, the user terminal 3 acquires information from the user via the input unit 37 and transmits it to the information processing device 2. The reception unit 211 then receives the information via the communication unit 25, thereby receiving the information. For example, the receiving unit 211 receives first input information from a user in a first receiving step. The first input information is basic information regarding emissions of CO2, an environmentally hazardous substance. In addition, the receiving unit 211 receives second input information from a user in a second receiving step. The second input information is information for calculating the effects of at least some of the second policy candidates described below for each target organization. The first input information and the second input information will be described in detail later.

[0027] In a first selection step, the first selection unit 212 selects a plurality of first policy candidates from among a plurality of policies related to emission reduction, based on the first input information acquired in the first reception step.

[0028] As a second selection step, the second selection unit 213 selects a second policy candidate from among the plurality of first policy candidates based on priority information indicating the priority order among the plurality of first policy candidates. The second policy candidate is a policy that is recommended to the user for specific consideration of whether or not to adopt it, and is a policy that is capable of accepting input of second input information from the user. Note that the state in which it is capable of accepting refers to a state in which the information processing device 2 provides a means for the user to input the second input information.

[0029] In the determination step, the determination unit 214 determines an adopted measure from the second candidate measures based on the second input information acquired in the second receiving step. The adopted measure is a measure that the user plans to adopt to reduce CO2 emissions.

[0030] As a display control step, the display control unit 215 causes the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3 to display various processing results in the control unit 21. That is, the display control unit 215 transmits various processing results to the user terminal 3 via the communication unit 25. The user terminal 3 then displays the received information on the display unit 38. For example, the display control unit 215 causes the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3 to display information regarding the adoption measure decided in the above-mentioned decision step. Furthermore, for example, the display control unit 215 causes the display unit 38 to display an input area as a means for inputting various information such as first input information or second input information.

[0031] 3. Operation of the information processing device 2 In Section 3, the flow of the information processing method executed by the information processing device 2 will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the order of the processes can be changed as appropriate, multiple processes may be executed simultaneously, or some processes may be omitted.

[0032] 3.1 Overview of Information Processing 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the information processing method. First, in a first receiving step, the receiving unit 211 of the information processing device 2 receives input of first input information from a user (S11). As a result, the receiving unit 211 acquires the first input information.

[0033] Next, as a first selection step, the first selection unit 212 selects a first group of policy candidates from among a plurality of policies related to emission reduction based on the first input information (S12).

[0034] Next, as a generation step, the second selection unit 213 determines the priority order among the plurality of first policy candidates and generates priority order information (S13).

[0035] Then, as a second selection step, the second selection unit 213 selects some of the first policy candidates from the first policy candidate group as a second policy candidate group based on the priority information generated in S13 (S14). Note that S12 to S14 may be performed separately or in parallel.

[0036] Next, as a first display control step, the display control unit 215 causes the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3 to display information related to the second policy candidate group (S15). For example, the display control unit 215 causes the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3 to display the policy names corresponding to the second policy candidates and reference information on the effects of implementing each of the policies.

[0037] Next, the control unit 21 executes the process shown in S16. The process shown in S16 mainly includes S160 and S161. In S160, the receiving unit 211 receives, from the user, input of second input information corresponding to at least some of the second policy candidates in the second policy candidate group. Then, in S161, the determination unit 214 determines an adopted policy from the second policy candidate group based on the second input information. At this time, the determination unit 214 may automatically determine the adopted policy based on the second input information. However, if the user selects an adopted policy based on the effect calculated based on the second input information, the determination unit 214 may determine the adopted policy based on the selection operation. The process shown in S16 will be described in detail later.

[0038] Next, the display control unit 215 causes the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3 to display information about the adoption policy (S17).

[0039] [effect] In this way, the information processing device 2 of this embodiment first narrows down the policy candidates based on the user's first input information, and then further narrows down the policy candidates that require input according to the priority of the policy candidates. That is, the information processing device 2 narrows down the policies that require user input from a huge number of policies in two stages. This eliminates the need for the user to input necessary information for all policies, thereby reducing the user's input burden. As a result, the time and effort required for the user to consider policies can be reduced.

[0040] 3.2 Details of information processing Next, the above-mentioned information processing will be described in detail.

[0041] [First input information input screen: S11] 6 is a diagram showing an example of a display image 4 displayed on the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3 when accepting input of the first input information from the user in S11. The display image 4 includes input areas 41, 42, and 43 for accepting input of the first input information.

[0042] The first input information is basic information related to CO2 emissions. The first input information may be information that serves as a basis for empirically determining whether each of the measures stored in the storage unit 26 is suitable for the target organization. The first input information may include at least one of the following: the type of fuel currently in use or planned to be used, the industry of the target organization, data on the target reduction amount, actual data on emissions, the business content of the target organization, and data on the organization's facilities.

[0043] 4, input area 41 is an area for receiving, as first input information, input from the user of the type of fuel in use, the amount of each fuel used, and a breakdown of the amount of each fuel used by application. Input area 42 is an area for receiving, as first input information, the selection of the industry of the target organization from the user. Input area 43 is an area for receiving, as first input information, input from the user of the target reduction rate and the year of achievement.

[0044] The receiving unit 211 may acquire the first input information for each supply chain or for each scope. A scope is a classification defined by the GHG Protocol, an initiative to consider and formulate a framework for measuring and managing greenhouse gas emissions. The GHG Protocol defines direct emissions within a company as Scope 1, indirect emissions originating from energy sources such as electricity, heat, or steam purchased or used by the company as Scope 2, and indirect emissions other than Scope 1 and 2 throughout the entire supply chain as Scope 3.

[0045] [Selection of the first and second policy candidates: S12 to S14] Next, a method for selecting the first policy candidate group and the second policy candidate group will be described. Fig. 7 is a diagram for explaining a method for selecting the first policy candidate group and the second policy candidate group.

[0046] The storage unit 26 of the information processing device 2 stores a policy list 5 consisting of a plurality of policies A to Z related to emission reduction. The plurality of policies A to Z related to emission reduction may or may not include net-zero policies, which will be described later. The first selection unit 212 selects, from the policies A to Z, policies A to K that are determined to be applicable to the target organization based on the first input information, as a first policy candidate group 6. In other words, the first selection unit 212 excludes, from the policy candidates, policies L to Z that are determined to be inapplicable to the target organization or inappropriate as emission reduction policies for the target organization based on the first input information.

[0047] Then, the second selection unit 213 determines the priority order among the first policy candidate group 6, and selects the second policy candidate group 7 from the first policy candidate group 6 based on the priority order.

[0048] (Details of the selection of the first policy candidate group 6: S12) Next, a procedure for the first selection unit 212 to select the first policy candidate group 6 from among a plurality of policies will be described.

[0049] The first selection unit 212 may select measures corresponding to the input first input information as the first policy candidate group 6, based on at least any one of information on the fuel type, scope, application, or industry input as the first input information. For example, the first selection unit 212 may select measures corresponding to the input fuel type and application as the first policy candidate group 6, based on the information on the fuel type and application input as the first input information. Furthermore, the first selection unit 212 may select measures corresponding to the input industry as the first policy candidate group 6, based on the information on the industry input as the first input information. As an example, the first selection unit 212 uses a policy record table T1 in the above selection.

[0050] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the policy performance table T1. The policy performance table T1 is stored in the storage unit 26. The policy performance table T1 is a table showing the past adoption record of each policy by condition. The conditions may be fuel type, scope and use, or industry. As shown in FIG. 8, as an example, the policy performance table T1 shows the past adoption record of each policy by fuel type and use. Each field stores the number of organizations that adopted the policy under the corresponding condition. As an example, the fuel type may be light oil, heavy oil, kerosene, LPG, LNG, gasoline, naphtha, etc. As another example, the use may be for ships, aircraft, automobiles, stoves, hot water supply, heating and cooling, etc.

[0051] For example, the first selection unit 212 may refer to a column in the policy record table T1 that corresponds to the input first input information, and select policies that have a track record of adoption for both fuel type and application as the first policy candidate group 6. Note that the first selection unit 212 may also select policies that have a predetermined number or more of adoption records for both fuel type and application as the first policy candidate group 6. In this way, the first selection unit 212 may determine the first policy candidate group 6 based on the first input information and past adoption records.

[0052] (Details of prioritization among the first policy candidates: S13) Next, a procedure will be described in which the second selection unit 213 determines the priority order among the first policy candidate group 6 and generates priority order information. The method of assigning the priority order is not limited to this, but the following first and second methods are available.

[0053] As a first method, there is a method of calculating the priority θ on a rule basis using reference information. Specifically, the second selection unit 213 generates priority information based on the reference information corresponding to each of the first policy candidate group 6. The reference information is, for each policy, performance data or statistical values ​​of performance data on the effectiveness of the policy when that policy was previously implemented by another organization. The reference information may also include data on the effectiveness of policies made public by administrative agencies or local governments. For example, the second selection unit 213 may acquire the reference information using a reference table T2 stored in the storage unit 26.

[0054] 9 is a diagram showing an example of the reference table T2. The reference table T2 includes a record for each measure. Each record includes a measure name T21 and reference information T22. The policy name T21 is information for identifying the policy. The reference information T22 is reference information regarding the effect of the measure when the measure is implemented. The reference information T22 includes reference information corresponding to one or more items. Specifically, the items of the reference information T22 are at least one of the following: investment amount per CO2 reduction, payback period, CO2 reduction, cost reduction, investment scale, annual additional investment, duration of the measure, and ease of implementation of the measure. The investment amount per CO2 reduction is the value obtained by dividing the investment scale by the CO2 reduction and is expressed as yen / ton-CO2e (CO2e = CO2 equivalent). The payback period is the value obtained by dividing the investment scale by the cost reduction. The CO2 reduction includes not only the CO2 reduction amount achieved by implementing the measure but also the value obtained by converting the reduction of other greenhouse gases into CO2. The cost reduction is the amount of energy cost reduction after the measure is implemented. The investment amount is the cost required in the first year to implement the measure. The additional investment amount is the difference between the investment amount if the measure is implemented and the investment amount if an investment other than a CO2 reduction measure is implemented. As an example, for a measure to replace the automobiles owned by the target organization with electric vehicles, the additional investment amount may be the difference between the cost of replacing them with electric vehicles and the cost of replacing them with gasoline-powered vehicles. The ease of implementing a measure may be calculated based on information such as the length of the preparation period, whether or not equipment is shut down, whether or not connections with other equipment are confirmed, the number of people involved, and whether or not the people involved are external parties. The baseline information for each item can be obtained by collecting performance data for that item when other organizations have implemented the measure in the past and performing statistical processing such as averaging.

[0055] The second selection unit 213 reads out the reference information T22 of the record corresponding to each first policy candidate in the first policy candidate group 6. Next, the second selection unit 213 calculates a priority θ for each first policy candidate based on the reference information T22. More specifically, the second selection unit 213 may calculate an item-specific priority for each first policy candidate based on each item included in the reference information T22, and calculate the priority θ based on the item-specific priority. When calculating the priority θ, the second selection unit 213 may weight the items according to the items.

[0056] For example, the priority θ may be expressed by the following equation (1). θ=a·w+b·x ...Equation (1) where w is the priority of each item corresponding to the number of years for investment payback, x is the priority of each item corresponding to the investment amount per CO2 reduction, and a and b are weighting coefficients.

[0057] As an example, the second selection unit 213 reads the number of years until the payback of each first policy candidate from the reference table T2, and calculates an item-specific priority w corresponding to the number of years until the payback of each first policy candidate, so that the value increases as the number of years until the payback of each first policy candidate decreases. As another example, the second selection unit 213 reads the investment amount per CO2 reduction amount for each first policy candidate from the reference table T2, and calculates an item-specific priority x corresponding to the investment amount per CO2 reduction amount for each first policy candidate, so that the value increases as the investment amount per CO2 reduction amount increases. Next, the second selection unit 213 multiplies each of the calculated item-specific priorities w and x by a predetermined weighting coefficient and adds the results together to calculate a priority θ. The second selection unit 213 then sorts the priorities θ in descending order to determine the order of priority.

[0058] Furthermore, w and x may be values ​​calculated based on multiple items of standard information included in the standard information T22. For example, w may be the ratio of the investment amount to the CO2 reduction amount, i.e., the investment amount to the CO2 reduction amount. For example, x may be the number of years for investment payback.

[0059] Note that the priority θ may be calculated using organizational attributes, such as the type of business. Specifically, the storage unit 26 may have a different reference table T2 for each organizational attribute, and the second selection unit 213 may select a reference table T2 based on the organizational attribute and then determine the priority in the above-described procedure. In this case, the organizational attributes may have been acquired as part of the first input information in S11.

[0060] The priority θ may be configured to have a small value for measures that have not been adopted in the same industry in the past. Furthermore, the priority θ may be configured to have a large value according to the number of adoptions in the same industry. In this case, the priority θ may be expressed by the following formula (2). θ=a·w+b·x+c·y+d·z ...Equation (2) Here, y is a coefficient indicating whether there is a hiring record in the same industry. If there is a hiring record in the same industry, y is 1, and if there is no hiring record in the same industry, y is 0. z is a normalized value of the number of hiring records in the same industry. And c and d are weighting coefficients. In this case, the second selection unit 213 may acquire information on past hiring records by industry for each measure.

[0061] In the above example, the parameter is the number of hires made by organizations in the same industry, but it may be the number of hires made by organizations with attributes similar to those of the target organization. The similarity of attributes may be determined based on at least one of industry, employee size, region, and sales volume.

[0062] The priority θ may also change depending on the policy classification. For example, the policy classification may be whether it is a continuous operation, a one-off response such as equipment renewal, or a net-zero policy. For example, a net-zero policy may be a policy such as purchasing carbon offsets or updating to an electricity contract plan that uses renewable energy as a power source. In this case, the priority θ may be expressed by the following formula (3). θ=a·w+b·x+c·y+d·z+e·p ...Equation (3) Here, p is a coefficient indicating the policy classification. The value of e is largest for continuous operation policies, next largest for spot measures such as equipment renewal, and smallest for net-zero policies.

[0063] Next, as a second method, a method of assigning priorities using a trained machine learning model can be mentioned. That is, the second selection unit 213 uses the trained machine learning model to obtain a priority θ for each first policy candidate from the first input information received from the user, and assigns priorities based on the priority θ. The machine learning model takes the first input information as input and outputs a priority θ for each policy. The machine learning model is obtained by learning weighting coefficients using past hiring records in other organizations and the first input information of other organizations as training data. The priority θ and weighting coefficients have already been explained in the first method, so explanation will be omitted.

[0064] (Details of the selection of the second policy candidate group 7: S14) Next, the procedure by which the second selection unit 213 selects the second policy candidate group 7 from the first policy candidate group 6 will be described. The second selection unit 213 selects the second policy candidate group 7 from the first policy candidate group 6 based on priority. For example, the second selection unit 213 may select a predetermined number of first policy candidates from the top in order of priority as the second policy candidate group 7. Furthermore, for example, the second selection unit 213 may estimate the scale of the effect corresponding to each first policy candidate, and repeatedly add the first policy candidates to the second policy candidate group 7 in order of priority until the target reduction rate is reached.

[0065] Then, the display control unit 215 may transmit information about the second policy candidate group 7 selected in S14 to the user terminal 3, and the user terminal 3 may display the received information on the display unit 38 (first display control step).

[0066] 10 is a diagram showing an example of a display image 8 displayed on the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3. The display image 8 includes information related to the second policy candidate group 7. In this case, the display image 8 does not need to include information related to policies excluded from the second policy candidate group 7. Since the policies presented to the user are limited in this way, the burden of considering policies on the user is reduced.

[0067] Here, the information on the second policy candidate group 7 includes identification information for each second policy candidate and standard information on the policy effects corresponding to each second policy candidate. More specifically, as shown in Fig. 10, the display image 8 includes a policy name 81, an investment amount per CO2 reduction amount 82, a payback period 83, a CO2 reduction amount scale 84, and ease of implementation 85.

[0068] Each of the investment amount per CO2 reduction amount 82, the number of years for payback 83, the scale of CO2 reduction amount 84, and the ease of implementation 85 may be an index that expresses the item-specific priority for each item in the reference table T2 using an N-level evaluation (N is a natural number). Note that although N=5 in FIG. 10, N is not limited to this. The above-mentioned indexes in FIG. 10 may also be expressed as numerical values. In this way, by presenting the item-specific priority for each second measure candidate to the user, the user can prioritize measures for the items that are important to them. This reduces the burden of consideration on the user.

[0069] In the display image 8, the display order of the information among the second policy candidates is determined based on the priority information generated in S13. That is, information about the second policy candidates with higher priority is displayed first. This allows the user to prioritize the policies with higher priority for the target organization from among the many policies, thereby reducing the burden on the user to consider.

[0070] Furthermore, the display image 8 may include, for each second policy candidate, a selection area 86 for selecting the second policy candidate at a position associated with information relating to the second policy candidate. In this case, the control unit 21 may be configured to calculate specific policy effects for the selected second policy candidate in accordance with the situation of the target organization in response to a selection operation by the user. The calculation may be performed in S16 shown in FIG. 11, which will be described later.

[0071] [First specific example of hiring policy decision processing: S16] Next, a first specific example of the process from when the control unit 21 presents the second policy candidate group 7 to the user until when the policy to be adopted is determined, that is, the process shown in S16, will be described.

[0072] 11 is a flowchart showing a first specific example of the flow of the second receiving method and determination method. In the first specific example, S16 includes the processes shown in S1601 to S1607. First, the reception unit 211 receives a selection of one second policy candidate from the user (S1601). The selected one second policy candidate is also referred to as a target policy. For example, in response to the user terminal 3 selecting the selection area 86 in the display image 8 in FIG. 10, the reception unit 211 receives a selection of one second policy candidate from the user.

[0073] Next, the display control unit 215 displays an input screen for the second input information corresponding to the target policy on the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3. Then, the receiving unit 211 receives the above input from the user as a second receiving step (S1602).

[0074] Next, the determination unit 214 calculates the effect of the target measure for the target organization based on the second input information corresponding to the target measure acquired from the user (S1603). The effect to be calculated is at least one of the investment amount per CO2 reduction, the number of years until payback, the CO2 reduction amount, the cost reduction amount, the investment amount, and the duration of the measure.

[0075] Next, the display control unit 215 displays the calculated effect of the target measure on the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3 (S1604: second display control step).

[0076] 12 is a diagram showing an example of a display image 9 displayed on the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3. The display image 9 includes an input area 93 for inputting second input information corresponding to the target policy. The input area 93 includes an input area 930 and an input area 931.

[0077] The second input information includes whether or not there is installed equipment, the size of the installed equipment, or the size of the equipment to be installed. In the display image 9 shown in FIG. 12, the second input information is the target area of ​​the equipment to be installed. The user can input the second input information via the input area 930.

[0078] Note that other parameters are required for calculating the effects of each measure. For example, in the display image 9 shown in FIG. 12, the other parameters shown are the electricity emission coefficient, the expected operating years, the daytime electricity rate, and the FIT purchase price. For these parameters, the storage unit 26 may store reference values ​​in advance. For example, the control unit 21 may read out reference values ​​of the parameters required to calculate the effects of each target measure from a parameter table T3 described below, and insert the read out reference values ​​into the input field 931.

[0079] 13 is a diagram showing an example of a parameter table T3. The parameter table T3 associates identification information of a measure, a formula for deriving an effect corresponding to the measure, and a parameter item used in the formula for deriving the effect. As an example, the identification information of a measure is the name of the measure. As another example, the formula for deriving the effect is a formula for deriving the cost reduction amount and a formula for deriving the investment amount.

[0080] For example, the parameters used in the formula for deriving the effect of policy A include a target area and an electricity emission coefficient. A corresponding reference value is stored in the parameter table T3 for the electricity emission coefficient. On the other hand, a corresponding reference value is not stored for the target area. Therefore, the control unit 21 requests input for the target area from the user and uses the reference value as an automatic input value for the electricity emission coefficient. In other words, the determination unit 214 first identifies information necessary for calculating the policy effect corresponding to the target policy. Next, the determination unit 214 reads the reference value for the identified necessary information for which a reference value is stored in the storage unit 26, and accepts input from the user as second input information for the information for which a reference value is not stored in the storage unit 26. The determination unit 214 then calculates the effect of the target policy based on the reference value and the second input information. In this way, by automating input for items having reference values ​​among the items necessary for calculating the policy effect, it is possible to minimize the information to be acquired from the user. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the user's input burden and investigation burden for effect reduction. Note that the value inserted in the input field 931 may be adjustable by user operation.

[0081] Returning to Fig. 12, the explanation will be continued. The display control unit 215 displays the effect calculated based on the second input information as described above as the calculation result 91. This allows the user to grasp the effect of the target measure.

[0082] As described above, the control unit 21 presents an overview of the effects of the measures in the first display control step, then specifically calculates the effects of the target measures selected by the user in accordance with the situation of the target organization, and presents the calculation results to the user in the second display control step. The user can narrow down the measures after checking the overview of the effects and easily consider whether to adopt the target measures based on the calculation results 91 of the narrowed down measures. The receiving unit 211 then receives an operation regarding whether to adopt the target measures (S1605). If the determination unit 214 receives a user operation indicating adoption, it adds the target measures to the group of adopted measures. In other words, the determination unit 214 determines the target measures as adopted measures based on the operation of the user who viewed the calculation results 91 (S1606). However, instead of this, the user may determine whether to adopt the target measures based on a reduction plan, which will be described later.

[0083] The reduction plan may be created in the following plan creation steps. First, the receiving unit 211 receives input of the start date of the target measure from the user. The input area 92 shown in FIG. 12 is an input area for inputting the start date of the target measure. The determining unit 214 calculates the emission amount and reduction amount for each fiscal year based on the start date of the target measure. Then, the display control unit 215 displays the emission amount and reduction amount for each fiscal year on the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3.

[0084] The determination unit 214 then calculates the emissions and reduction amounts corresponding to the added adopted policy group, and determines whether the reduction target will be achieved (S1607). The determination unit 214 repeats the processes shown in S1601 to S1607 until it determines that the reduction target will be achieved. If it determines that the reduction target will be achieved (YES in S1607), the determination unit 214 ends consideration of the adopted policies and determines the adopted policy group (S1608).

[0085] [Second specific example of hiring policy decision processing: S16] Next, a second specific example of the process shown in S16 will be described. In the second specific example, in the receiving step, the receiving unit 211 receives answers to questions about second policy candidates from the user as second input information, in descending order of priority from the second policy candidate group 7. The second selecting unit 213 modifies the priority information based on the acquired second input information each time a question about the second policy candidate is completed. Then, the determining unit 214 determines an adopted policy from the second policy candidate group 7 based on the modified priority information. The user only needs to provide answers to questions about the limited number of second policy candidates, thereby reducing the input burden.

[0086] Here, in the receiving step, the receiving unit 211 selects one question from the group of questions based on the priority information. Then, the receiving unit 211 may determine the next question to be answered based on the answer to the question. Specifically, the second selection unit 213 may first determine a second policy candidate group 7 for which second input information can be accepted based on the priority information. Here, each second policy candidate is associated with multiple questions (a group of questions) for determining whether or not to adopt the second policy candidate as an adopted policy. Then, the receiving unit 211 may select one question from the group of questions corresponding to the determined second policy candidate. Depending on the answer, the receiving unit 211 may determine whether the next question to be answered should be selected from the group of questions corresponding to the same second policy candidate or from multiple questions corresponding to different second policy candidates. By determining the next question based on the answer, the receiving unit 211 can be configured to prioritize answering a knockout question. As a result, the receiving unit 211 can efficiently acquire second input information while reducing the input burden on the user.

[0087] 14 is a flowchart showing a second specific example of the flow of the second reception method and the determination method. First, the reception unit 211 selects one second policy candidate as a target policy based on the priority order generated in S13 (S1611).

[0088] Next, the reception unit 211 selects a question from a group of questions corresponding to the target policy (S1612). The question is a simple question for prompting the user to answer the second input information. The reception unit 211 may select a question using a question table T4, which will be described later. Then, the display control unit 215 displays the selected question and receives an answer to the question selected by the reception unit 211 from the user (S1613).

[0089] FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of question table T4. Question table T4 may be stored in advance in storage unit 26. Question table T4 is a table that associates a policy with one or more questions. More specifically, question table T4 includes a policy name and one or more questions T44. Question T44 includes knockout questions, which are questions whose answers are knockout factors that determine whether the policy is adopted, and questions for calculating the amount of CO2 reduction that would be achieved if the policy were implemented. More specifically, the questions for calculating the amount of CO2 reduction are questions for determining the size or scale of the facilities required to implement the policy. Each question T44 is associated with information T42 indicating whether the answer to that question is a knockout factor and a priority T43 of that question within a group of questions corresponding to the same policy.

[0090] FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of a display image 10 displayed on the display unit of the user terminal 3. The display image 10 includes questions 101 and 102 when the target measure is measure A, and input areas 1011 and 1021 corresponding to each question. The questions 101 and 102 are questions with the first and second priorities T43 among the questions associated with measure A in the question table T4. The questions 101 and 102 are determined as knockout factors T42 that are decisive factors for not adopting the measure. The user inputs answers to the questions 101 and 102 in the input areas 1011 and 1021 and confirms the answers.

[0091] Returning to FIG. 14, the explanation continues. The receiving unit 211, having received the answers from the user, determines whether or not there was a knockout factor, i.e., a decisive answer for rejection, for the questions 101 and 102 corresponding to the knockout factor T42 (S1614). If there was a decisive answer for rejection (YES in S1614), the second selection unit 213 modifies the priorities among the measures determined in S13 (S1615). Note that in S1615, the second selection unit 213 may modify the configuration of the second policy candidate group 7 as necessary. At this time, the receiving unit 211 does not receive answers from the user for the remaining questions corresponding to policy A. Instead, the receiving unit 211 returns the process to S1611. That is, the receiving unit 211 selects policy B, which has the second highest priority among the first policy candidates after policy A, as the target policy and performs the same process. In this way, if there is a knockout factor, the remaining questions corresponding to the target policy are not presented to the user, and the process moves on to the question for the next policy, thereby effectively reducing the user's input burden.

[0092] On the other hand, if there is no answer that is a decisive factor for rejection (NO in S1614), the determination unit 214 determines the target policy as the adopted policy (S1616).Then, the reception unit 211 presents the user with questions for determining the scale or sense of scale of the facility for implementing the policy and receives the answers (S1617).

[0093] Next, the determination unit 214 calculates the expected reduction amount of the already determined group of adopted measures based on the answers to the questions (S1618). At this time, the information that forms the basis for calculating the expected reduction amount includes answers (e.g., numerical information) to the questions for determining the scale or sense of scale of the facility, but does not need to include answers (e.g., YES / NO information) to the questions for determining the knockout factors in S1614. Then, the determination unit 214 determines whether the expected reduction amount reaches the target reduction amount (S1619).

[0094] If the determination unit 214 determines that the target reduction amount will not be achieved (NO in S1619), the process returns to S1611 and considers additional measures to be adopted. On the other hand, if the determination unit 214 determines that the target reduction amount will be achieved (YES in S1619), the determination unit 214 ends consideration of the measures to be adopted and decides on a group of measures to be adopted (S1620).

[0095] Note that even if steps S1611 to S1619 are repeated, there may be cases where the expected reduction amount does not achieve the target reduction amount. For example, this applies when the target reduction amount is greater than the expected reduction amount if all of the first candidate measures that did not have knockout factors were implemented. In this case, the determination unit 214 may adjust the group of adopted measures so that the expected reduction amount achieves the target reduction amount by adopting the above-mentioned net-zero measure, or, if a net-zero measure has already been adopted, by increasing the scale of implementation of that measure. The above adjustment process of adopting a net-zero measure may be performed when the multiple measures A to Z do not include a net-zero measure.

[0096] (Method for modifying priorities and second policy candidate group: S1615) 17 is a diagram for explaining a method for correcting the priorities among the first policy candidates and a method for correcting the second policy candidate group. In S13, the priorities within the first policy candidate group 6 are, in descending order, as follows: policy A, policy B, policy C, ..., policy E, policy F, ..., policy K. The second policy candidate group 7 selected in S14 is made up of five policies, from policy A to policy E.

[0097] Here, if the user's answer reveals that measure A has a knockout factor, measure A is excluded from the first measure candidate group 6 and the second measure candidate group 7. That is, the second selection unit 213 changes the measure with the highest priority in the new first measure candidate group 6 from measure A to measure B. Note that if the four measures, from measure B to measure E, excluding measure A, are unlikely to achieve the target reduction amount, the second selection unit 213 adds to the second measure candidate group 7 a first measure candidate that has a high priority but has not been selected in the second measure candidate group 7. The second selection unit 213 repeats the above addition process until it is likely to achieve the target reduction amount.

[0098] [Creating a reduction plan] Furthermore, the determination unit 214 may create a reduction plan for when the adopted measures are adopted. In creating the reduction plan, the determination unit 214 first determines, for each adopted measure, the start time for starting the measure. For example, the determination unit 214 may determine the start time for each adopted measure based on at least the number of years for payback corresponding to each adopted measure, information on the investment amount for implementing each adopted measure, and budget information on the budget for implementing the measure. The budget information includes the upper limit of investment that the target organization can use in one year.

[0099] The algorithm for determining the start time is not limited to this, but the following algorithm may be considered, for example. First, the determination unit 214 classifies the adopted measures into operation change measures that are characterized by operation change and capital investment measures that are characterized by capital investment. Operation change measures involve relatively small investment amounts, while capital investment measures involve relatively large investment amounts. Therefore, the determination unit 214 sets the start time for the operation change measures so that they are all implemented together in the first year. On the other hand, the determination unit 214 distributes the start times for the capital investment measures so that the investment amount is not concentrated in one fiscal year, that is, so that the difference in investment amount between fiscal years is small. In this case, the determination unit 214 may set the start time so that the smaller the investment amount of the capital investment measure, the earlier the start time.

[0100] The determination unit 214 then creates a reduction plan using the start times of each adoption measure determined as described above. The display control unit 215 may display information related to the reduction plan.

[0101] For example, the display control unit 215 may display, on the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3, a list of basic information about the adopted measures together with their start dates as information about the reduction plan. 18 is a diagram showing an example of a display image 11 displayed on the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3. The display image 11 includes a table containing basic information about the adopted measures and their start dates. Specifically, the table includes a measure name 111, a scope type 112, a fuel type 113, an application 114, and a start date 115. In addition, the table may include parameter items 116 and numerical values ​​117 corresponding to the parameter items. By presenting the user with a list of information about the adopted measures in this way, the user can grasp the details of the adopted measures.

[0102] Furthermore, for example, the display control unit 215 may visually display the trends in the estimated emission amount and estimated reduction amount on the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3 as information related to the reduction plan. FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of a display image 12 displayed on the display unit 38 of the user terminal 3. The display image 12 is a graph comparing the trend in the estimated emissions before and after the implementation of the adopted measure. The difference in the estimated emissions before and after the implementation corresponds to the estimated reduction amount. By visually presenting the trends in the estimated emissions and estimated reduction amount to the user in this way, the user can intuitively grasp the effects of the adopted measure. This reduces the burden on the user of examining the appropriateness of the adopted measure.

[0103] Although the present disclosure has been described above with reference to the embodiments, the present disclosure is not limited to the above. Various modifications that can be understood by those skilled in the art can be made to the configuration and details of the present disclosure within the scope of the invention.

[0104] (Steps for adopting measures by process) For example, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 2 may determine a measure to be adopted for each process of the business activities of a target organization in a supply chain or the production activities of a specific product. For example, the control unit 21 may present to the user, for each process, one or more measures corresponding to that process and accept a selection of the measure to be adopted from the user. Also, for example, the control unit 21 may execute the processing shown in FIG. 5 for each process.

[0105] (Monitoring step) Furthermore, for example, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 2 may execute the following monitoring step after the target organization implements the adopted measure: The monitoring step is a step of monitoring the difference between the predicted emissions in the reduction plan of the target organization and the actual emissions. Specifically, in the monitoring step, the control unit 21 may calculate the difference between the estimated emissions in the reduction plan and the actual emissions in response to receiving input of the actual emissions from the user. If the difference is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the control unit 21 may analyze the cause of the discrepancy between the plan and the actual emissions. In this case, the control unit 21 may notify the user of an alert indicating that the plan and the actual emissions have discrepancies. Furthermore, the control unit 21 may modify parameters for calculating the estimated emissions or the estimated reduction amount based on the analyzed cause. Furthermore, when the user selects the measure as a second measure candidate or when deciding on the measure as an adopted measure, the control unit 21 may display a message indicating that the measure is likely to cause a discrepancy between the plan and the actual emissions. Additionally, the control unit 21 may determine whether to change the reduction plan based on the analyzed cause. When changing the reduction plan, the control unit 21 may add a second measure candidate that has not been selected as an adopted measure in accordance with the priority order, or add a net-zero measure or modify its parameters, similar to the process shown in FIG. 14 .

[0106] (Scope 3 calculation steps) Furthermore, for example, the control unit 21 of the information processing device 2 may execute a step of calculating emissions of other businesses (so-called Scope 3 emissions) among the supply chain emissions related to the activities of the target organization. Specifically, the control unit 21 may present the user with reduction measures according to categories related to other businesses (for example, transportation or warehousing). The category-specific reduction measures may be measures for factoring the emission factors of the other businesses and reducing each factor, or measures corresponding to each factor in a prediction formula for predicting the emissions. The control unit 21 may then receive input from the user of variable amounts for each variable, and calculate the expected reduction amount for Scope 3 based on the received amounts.

[0107] In the above-described embodiment, the information processing device 2 is a single device. However, some or all of the components of the information processing device 2 may be implemented by multiple information processing devices, circuits, etc. In this case, the multiple information processing devices, circuits, etc. may be centrally or decentralized. For example, the information processing devices, circuits, etc. may be implemented as a client-server system, a cloud computing system, or the like, in a form in which each is connected via a communication network. Furthermore, the functions of the information processing device 2 may be provided in a SaaS (Software as a Service) format.
