[0014] [Figure 1] This is a block diagram of a control system in one embodiment. [Figure 2] (a) is a block diagram relating to the structure of inventory container information, and (b) is a block diagram relating to the structure of transport container information. [Figure 3] This is a block diagram showing the structure of container information. [Figure 4] This is a flowchart showing the processes performed by the management system. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0015] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 is a block diagram of a management system 10 in one embodiment. The management system 10 is a system that manages the history from CO2 recovery to utilization, and comprises a processing unit 11, a recovery device database (recovery device DB) 12 storing data on a CO2 recovery device 19 that recovers CO2 from raw gas, a supply device database (supply device DB) 13 storing data on a CO2 supply device 21 that supplies the recovered CO2 to the target for utilization, a container database (container DB) 14 storing data on a CO2 container C, a vehicle database (vehicle DB) 15 storing data on a vehicle 23 that transports the container C, a map database (map DB) 16, a history database (history DB) 17, and an input / output interface 18.

[0016] The management system 10 is connected via a wide-area communication network W to a CO2 recovery device 19, a recovery device terminal 20 located near the CO2 recovery device 19, a CO2 supply device 21 that supplies CO2 to targets that utilize CO2, a supply device terminal 22 located near the CO2 supply device 21, and a vehicle terminal 24 located on the vehicle 23. The management system 10 includes a computer equipped with arithmetic circuits and memory devices capable of performing their respective functions.

[0017] CO2 recovery devices 19 include devices that separate and recover CO2 contained in raw gas by chemical or physical absorption using temperature differences or concentration differences, and devices that separate and recover CO2 contained in raw gas by membrane separation. Examples of raw gases include exhaust gas and air. Examples of exhaust gases include those emitted from power plants, factories, waste treatment facilities, natural gas fields, and oil fields. The CO2 recovered by the CO2 recovery device 19 is filled into container C by a compressor or the like. The amount of CO2 filled into container C is determined by detecting the CO2 concentration, gas pressure, volume, and temperature when filling container C with gas.

[0018] The targets to which CO2 is supplied from the CO2 supply device 21 include facilities such as reactors and electrolyzers that generate fuels such as methane and synthesis gas using CO2 as a raw material, and facilities that cultivate plants, algae, etc. that perform photosynthesis using CO2. The CO2 supply device 21 supplies the CO2 filled in the container C to the target. By detecting the pressure, flow rate, etc. of the gas supplied by the CO2 supply device 21 from the container C to the target, the amount of CO2 released from the container C is specified.

[0019] The vehicle 23 is not particularly limited as long as it is a vehicle that can transport the container C. Examples of the vehicle 23 include a truck and a tractor that pulls a trailer on which the container C is loaded. The vehicle 23 transports the filled container filled with CO2 from the CO2 recovery device 19 to the target, and transports the used container from which CO2 has been released from the target to the CO2 recovery device 19. The container C is repeatedly used until its service life elapses or it is damaged.

[0020] The processing unit 11 of the management system 10 consists of a central processing unit (CPU) and a storage device, and includes an arrival time calculation unit 25, an information synthesis unit 26, a mapping unit 27, an operation adjustment unit 28, an emission amount calculation unit 29, and an input processing unit 30.

[0021] The input / output interface 18 is implemented as a device such as an arithmetic circuit, firmware, communication software such as a TCP / IP driver or a PPP driver, or a combination thereof. The management system 10 can search, extract, transmit, and receive data among the recovery device terminal 20, the supply device terminal 22, and the vehicle terminal 24 via the wide area communication network W, the input / output interface 18, and the input processing unit 30. It is possible to connect an output device (not shown) such as a display that outputs the results of data search and extraction to the management system 10.

[0022] The management system 10 can adjust the operations of the CO2 recovery device 19 and the CO2 supply device 21 via the wide-area communication network W, the input / output interface 18, and the input processing unit 30. For the sake of convenience in FIG. 1, one CO2 recovery device 19 and one CO2 supply device 21 are each connected to the management system 10 via the wide-area communication network W. However, it is of course possible to connect two or more CO2 recovery devices 19 or two or more CO2 supply devices 21 to the management system 10. Similarly, it is also possible to connect two or more recovery device terminals 20, supply device terminals 22, and vehicle terminals 24 to the management system 10.

[0023] The recovery device DB 12 is a database that stores the operation information 32 of the CO2 recovery device 19 and the inventory container information 33 regarding the filled containers and used containers existing within the site where the CO2 recovery device 19 is installed. The device ID 31 is a unique number for identifying the CO2 recovery device 19, and the operation information 32, which is the current CO2 recovery amount of the CO2 recovery device 19, and the inventory container information 33 are associated. The terminal ID 34 is a unique number for the recovery device terminal 20 operated by the worker within the site where the CO2 recovery device 19 is installed. The location information 35 of the site where the CO2 recovery device 19 is installed is associated with the terminal ID 34 in advance.

[0024] The supply device DB 13 is a database that stores the operation information 37 of the CO2 supply device 21, which is the current CO2 supply amount of the CO2 supply device 21, and the inventory container information 38 regarding the filled containers and used containers existing within the target site. The device ID 36 is a unique number for identifying the CO2 supply device 21, and the operation information 37 and the inventory container information 38 are associated. When there are multiple CO2 supply devices 21 within the target site, a device ID 36 is assigned to each device. The terminal ID 39 is a unique number for the supply device terminal 22 operated by the worker within the target site. When there are multiple CO2 supply devices 21 within the target site, a supply device terminal 22 may be provided for each CO2 supply device 21, or a terminal ID 39 may be provided for each CO2 supply device 21 using a common supply device terminal 22. The location information 40 of the target site is associated with the terminal ID 39 in advance.

[0025] Container DB14 is a database that stores information about all containers C located within the site where the CO2 recovery device 19 is installed, within the target site, or within the vehicle 23. Container ID 41 is a unique number assigned to each container C. Container ID 41 is associated with information 42 about the contents of container C. Information 42 about the contents is the amount of CO2 contained in container C.

[0026] An indicator (not shown) representing container ID 41 is attached to container C. Examples of indicators include codes such as one-dimensional codes (barcodes) and two-dimensional codes, and IC tags. An IC tag is a tag that includes an IC chip that records information and an antenna. In addition to container ID 41, the indicator may also include information such as the volume of container C, the structure of container C, and the materials of container C.

[0027] In addition to the indicators, if container C is equipped with a GPS transmitter (not shown), the management system 10 can obtain location information of container C from the GPS transmitter. The GPS transmitter can be any type, including those that receive radio waves from GPS satellites to obtain information and transmit location information using a mobile network, or those that communicate with GPS satellites and receive location information from them. The location information of container C is associated with container ID 41.

[0028] Vehicle DB15 is a database that stores information about containers C being transported by vehicle 23. Vehicle DB15 associates the following: the transport company ID 43 assigned to the transport company that owns vehicle 23, the vehicle ID 44 which is a unique number that identifies vehicle 23, the maximum load capacity 45 of vehicle 23, the energy consumption rate 46 when vehicle 23 is running, the emission intensity 47, and the transport container information 48 which is information about the containers C (filled containers and used containers) that vehicle 23 is transporting. The energy consumption rate 46 is the distance traveled per unit of fuel (fuel efficiency) or the distance traveled per unit of electricity of vehicle 23 (electricity consumption). The emission intensity 47 is the amount of CO2 emissions per unit specified for each fuel or energy used to run vehicle 23.

[0029] Terminal ID 49 is a unique number for the vehicle terminal 24 installed in the vehicle 23. A GPS transmitter (not shown) may be installed in the vehicle 23 or the vehicle terminal 24. If the vehicle 23 and the GPS transmitter are integrated, the location information 50 of the vehicle 23 generated by the GPS transmitter is also associated with terminal ID 49.

[0030] Map DB16 is a database that stores map data 51 for displaying the CO2 capture device 19, vehicle 23, and target on a map. The map data 51 can be read by the capture device terminal 20, the supply device terminal 22, and the vehicle terminal 24. History DB17 is a database that stores container information 52, which is data that associates the amount of CO2 filled into container C, the transportation of container C, and the amount of CO2 supplied from container C to the target.

[0031] The recovery device terminal 20, the supply device terminal 22, and the vehicle terminal 24 include a reader (not shown) for reading an indicator attached to container C. When the recovery device terminal 20 reads the indicator on container C, inventory container information 33 for the CO2 recovery device 19 is formed. When the vehicle terminal 24 reads the indicator on container C, transport container information 48 for the vehicle 23 is formed. When the supply device terminal 22 reads the indicator on container C, the target inventory container information 38 is formed.

[0032] Figure 2(a) is a block diagram relating to the structure of the inventory container information 33,38. The inventory container information 33,38 contains information about filled containers that have been filled with CO2 recovered by the CO2 recovery device 19, and used containers that are awaiting CO2 refilling. The inventory container information 33,38 includes information 42 about the contents of container C. When the recovery device terminal 20 of the CO2 recovery device 19 reads the indicator of container C, the container ID 41 of the read container C is associated with the location information 35 because the location information 35 of the CO2 recovery device 19 is pre-associated with the terminal ID 34. Similarly, when the target supply device terminal 22 reads the indicator of container C, the container ID 41 of the read container C is associated with the location information 40 because the location information 40 of the CO2 supply device 21 is pre-associated with the terminal ID 39.

[0033] Figure 2(b) is a block diagram relating to the structure of the transport container information 48. The transport container information 48 contains information about filled containers transported by the vehicle 23 from the CO2 recovery device 19 to the target, and used containers transported by the vehicle 23 from the target to the CO2 recovery device 19. The transport container information 48 includes information 42 about the contents of container C, destination information 53 about the destination of container C, the distance traveled by the vehicle 23 to transport container C 54, and the amount of energy 55 consumed by the vehicle 23 in connection with the transport of container C. Since the transport container information 48 is associated with container ID 41 and destination information 53, the vehicle 23 can transport container C by mixing filled containers and used containers, or by loading container C with different destinations.

[0034] If the indicator attached to container C is an IC tag, the location information of container C can be determined by short-range communication between the IC tag and surrounding networks such as mobile phones, mobile phone base station antennas, and public Wi-Fi. As a result, even if container C or vehicle 23 are not equipped with GPS transmitters, the location information of container C and the location information 50 of vehicle 23 carrying container C can be determined via container C, and the location information of container C is associated with container ID 41, and the location information 50 is associated with terminal ID 49. If the indicator attached to container C is a code, and vehicle 23 or vehicle terminal 24 is equipped with a GPS transmitter (not shown), the location information 50 of vehicle 23 generated by the GPS transmitter is associated with terminal ID 49.

[0035] The vehicle terminal 24 can periodically transmit data to the processing unit 11, including the distance traveled by the vehicle 23 54 for transporting container C, and the amount of energy 55 consumed by the vehicle 23 in connection with the transport of container C, while the vehicle 23 is moving, stopped, or at predetermined intervals. The vehicle terminal 24 can automatically transmit data when the vehicle 23 arrives at the designated destination of container C and the location information 50 of the vehicle 23 matches the location information near the destination. Alternatively, the driver of the vehicle 23 may input the arrival of the vehicle 23 at the designated destination of container C into the vehicle terminal 24, or the vehicle terminal 24 may transmit data via the mobile terminal when the driver inputs the arrival of the vehicle 23 into a terminal carried by the driver (hereinafter referred to as "mobile terminal," not shown). An example of a mobile terminal is one that has a reader (not shown) for reading an indicator attached to container C.

[0036] Let's return to Figure 1 for explanation. The arrival time calculation unit 25 of the processing unit 11 receives location information 50 of the vehicle 23 from the vehicle terminal 24, calculates the arrival time of the vehicle 23 at its destination, and generates arrival time information. The arrival time calculation unit 25 can generate arrival time information taking into account traffic congestion and detours due to construction or accidents. The arrival time calculation unit 25 transmits the arrival time information to the terminal ID 49 of the vehicle terminal 24, the terminal ID 34 of the collection device terminal 20, or the terminal ID 39 of the supply device terminal 22 via the input processing unit 30, input / output interface 18, and wide-area communication network W.

[0037] The information synthesis unit 26 associates terminal IDs 34, 40, and 50 with container ID 41 when the indicator of container C is read by the collection device terminal 20, when the indicator of container C is read by the supply device terminal 22, when the indicator of container C is read by the vehicle terminal 24, or when the vehicle terminal 24 transmits data. As a result, a large amount of information, including the contents information 42 and location information 35, 40, and 50 associated with container ID 41, is associated with terminal IDs 34, 40, and 50, enabling location management and history management of all containers C (filled containers and used containers).

[0038] The mapping unit 27 displays the location of container C on a map by associating the location information 35, 40, and 50 associated with container ID 41 with map data 51 and storing it in the map DB 16 in a readable format as map data that includes the location information of the CO2 recovery device 19, vehicle 23, target, and container C.

[0039] The operation adjustment unit 28 adjusts the amount of CO2 recovered by the CO2 recovery device 19 and the amount of CO2 supplied by the CO2 supply device 21 based on the balance between the number of filled containers and used containers and the arrival time information generated by the arrival time calculation unit 25. When the amount of CO2 consumed by the target is small, the operation adjustment unit 28 restricts the operation of the CO2 recovery device 19 to reduce the amount of CO2 recovered. When the amount of CO2 consumed by the target is large, the operation adjustment unit 28 increases the operating rate of the CO2 recovery device 19 to increase the amount of CO2 recovered. This reduces the excess or deficiency of operation of the CO2 recovery device 19 and the CO2 supply device 21.

[0040] Based on arrival time information, the operation adjustment unit 28 can restrict the operation of the CO2 supply device 21 to reduce the amount of CO2 supplied by the CO2 supply device 21 or stop the CO2 supply device 21 if, at that time, there will be insufficient number of containers for the CO2 supply device 21 to supply CO2 to the target. Based on arrival time information, the operation adjustment unit 28 can restrict the operation of the CO2 recovery device 19 to reduce the amount of CO2 recovered or stop the CO2 recovery device 19 if, at that time, there will be insufficient number of containers for the CO2 recovery device 19 to fill with recovered CO2. This reduces energy consumption due to unnecessary operation of the CO2 recovery device 19 and the CO2 supply device 21.

[0041] The emissions calculation unit 29 calculates the amount of CO2 emitted during the period of CO2 capture and utilization. The input processing unit 30 connects the capture device terminal 20, the supply device terminal 22, and the vehicle terminal 24 with the arrival time calculation unit 25, the information synthesis unit 26, the mapping unit 27, the operation adjustment unit 28, and the emissions calculation unit 29, as well as the capture device DB 12, the supply device DB 13, the vehicle DB 15, the map DB 16, and the history DB 17, and has functions for data input, data association, data search and extraction, and data transmission and reception.

[0042] The input processing unit 30 acquires and correlates the amount of CO2 filled in container C, the information of the vehicle 23 that transported container C, the amount of CO2 supplied from container C to the target, and the container ID 41 attached to container C, in order to manage the history of container C, and generates container information 52. The amount of CO2 filled in container C is acquired by the management system 10 by detecting the CO2 concentration, gas pressure, volume, and temperature when the gas is filled into container C. The amount of CO2 supplied from container C to the target is acquired by the management system 10 by detecting the gas pressure and flow rate released from container C.

[0043] Figure 3 is a block diagram relating to the structure of container information 52. Container information 52 is interconnected with the following: container ID 41 assigned to container C, a unique number 56 associated with container ID 41, a first quantity 57 representing the amount of CO2 filled in container C, the mileage 54 of vehicle 23 representing the transport distance of container C, the amount of energy 55 consumed by vehicle 23 in transporting container C, an energy consumption rate 46 specific to vehicle 23 that transported container C, an emission intensity 47 specific to vehicle 23 that transported container C, and a second quantity 58 representing the amount of CO2 supplied from container C to the target.

[0044] Number 56 is assigned to each instance of CO2 movement (recovery and supply) using container C, and the data from when container C is filled with CO2 until the CO2 in container C is used and the container becomes a used container is associated with number 56. Containers filled with CO2 are sequentially assigned number 56 and stored in the history DB17. Container information 52 also includes time information such as the date and time CO2 was recovered, the date and time CO2 was filled into container C, the date and time container C was transported, and the date and time CO2 was supplied from container C to the target, and this information is associated with number 56.

[0045] Figure 4 is a flowchart showing the processes executed by the management system 10. The processes shown in Figure 4 are executed by a program stored in the memory device (not shown) of the processing unit 11. Figure 4 illustrates a case where the CO2 recovered by the CO2 recovery device 19 is stored in a container, the container C containing the CO2 is loaded onto a vehicle 23, transported, unloaded at the target, and then the target uses the CO2 supplied by the CO2 supply device 21.

[0046] The management system 10 adjusts the operation of the CO2 recovery device 19 using the operation adjustment unit 28, taking into account the amount of CO2 supplied by the CO2 supply device 21 (S1). The CO2 recovered by the CO2 recovery device 19 is filled into container C by a compressor or the like. The processing unit 11 detects the concentration, pressure, volume, and temperature of the CO2 being filled into container C and obtains the amount of CO2 in container C (first amount 57) for each container ID 41 (S2). The processing unit 11 generates inventory container information 33 based on input from the recovery device terminal 20.

[0047] When containers C (filled containers and used containers) are loaded onto vehicle 23, destination information 53 is input for each container ID 41 via vehicle terminal 24, and processing unit 11 acquires the destination information 53 for each container ID 41 (S3). Processing unit 11 generates transport container information 48 based on the input from vehicle terminal 24. Information synthesis unit 26 associates the container ID 41 of the containers C loaded onto vehicle 23 with the location information 50 of vehicle 23 (S4). Arrival time calculation unit 25 receives the location information 50 from vehicle terminal 24, calculates the arrival time of container C (scheduled arrival time of vehicle 23) for each destination information 53 (S5), and outputs arrival information to vehicle terminal 24 and the collection device terminal 20 and supply device terminal 22 of the vehicle 23's destination (S6).

[0048] When vehicle 23 arrives at its destination, vehicle terminal 24 inputs the vehicle's mileage 54, which is the transport distance of container C, and the amount of energy 55 consumed by vehicle 23 in transporting container C, to processing unit 11. Processing unit 11 obtains the mileage 54 and the amount of energy 55 (S7).

[0049] When container C, which is filled with CO2, is unloaded, the processing unit 11 generates inventory container information 38 based on input from the supply device terminal 22. Once the unloading of container C is complete, container C is connected to the CO2 supply device 21 and the CO2 inside container C is supplied to the target. The management system 10 adjusts the operation of the CO2 supply device 21 by the operation adjustment unit 28, taking into account the amount of CO2 to be recovered by the CO2 recovery device 19 (S8).

[0050] The processing unit 11 detects the pressure and flow rate of CO2 supplied from container C to the target by the CO2 supply device 21, and acquires the amount of CO2 supplied by container C (second amount 58) for each container ID 41 (S9). The input processing unit 30 generates container information 52 by relating the unique number 56, container ID 41, first amount 57, mileage 54, energy amount 55, energy consumption rate 46 specific to the vehicle 23 that transported container C, emission intensity 47 specific to the vehicle 23 that transported container C, and the second amount 58 (S10). The emission calculation unit 29 calculates the amount of CO2 emissions, including the CO2 emitted by the vehicle 23 transporting container C, by referring to the container information 52 (S11).

[0051] The emissions calculation unit 29 calculates the amount of CO2 emitted by the vehicle 23 by multiplying the energy amount 55 by the emission intensity 47, or by multiplying the energy amount calculated by multiplying the distance traveled 54 by the energy consumption rate 46 by the emission intensity 47. Therefore, it is sufficient if either the distance traveled 54 and the energy consumption rate 46, or the energy amount 55, is included in the container information 52.

[0052] According to the management system 10, the history of CO2 capture and supply is recorded as container information 52, and information related to the transportation and distribution of CO2, which is necessary when calculating CO2 supply chain emissions, can be obtained and linked. In addition, by visualizing the location of container C, the status of CO2 capture and supply can be visualized, and furthermore, CO2 capture and supply can be balanced.

[0053] Although the present invention has been described above based on embodiments, it can be easily inferred that the present invention is not limited in any way to the above embodiments, and that various improvements and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0054] In the embodiment, the case in which container information 52 is stored when container C is transported from the CO2 recovery device 19 to an object that will utilize the CO2 has been described, but it is not limited to this. Similarly, when a portion of the CO2 in container C is used at the object that will utilize the CO2, and that container C is transported to another object and the CO2 in container C is used, the container information 52 associated with the number 56 assigned to that container C is also stored.

[0055] In this embodiment, a case was described in which container C is transported by vehicle 23 from the CO2 recovery device 19 to the target for CO2 utilization, but the invention is not limited to this. It is certainly possible to set up an intermediate base between the CO2 recovery device 19 and the target for storing container C (filled containers and used containers), and to transport container C between the CO2 recovery device 19 and the intermediate base, and between the intermediate base and the target, using vehicle 23. In this case, a terminal can be set up at the intermediate base, and information about the container C present at the intermediate base can be input into the management system 10 using that terminal.
