An output device (not shown), such as a display, can be connected to the management system 10 to output the results of data searches and extractions.

[0022] The management system 10 communicates via the wide-area communication network W, input / output interface 18, and input processing unit 30. ２ Recovery device 19 and CO ２ The operation of the supply device 21 can be adjusted. In Figure 1, for convenience, CO ２ Recovery device 19 and CO ２ Each supply device 21 is connected to the management system 10 via a wide-area communication network W, but the management system 10 has two or more CO ２ Connecting the recovery device 19 or two or more CO2s２ It is of course possible to connect the supply device 21 or the like. 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 respectively.

[0023] The recovery device DB 12 stores ２ the operation information 32 of the recovery device 19 and ２ a database that stores the inventory container information 33 regarding the filled containers and used containers existing within the site where the recovery device 19 is arranged. The device ID 31 is ２ a unique number for identifying the recovery device 19 and ２ the operation information 32 which is the current CO ２ recovery amount of the recovery device 19 and the inventory container information 33 are associated.

If there are multiple supply devices 21 within the target site, ２ it is possible to provide a supply device terminal 22 for each supply device 21 or ２ use a common supply device terminal 22 and ２ provide a terminal ID 39 for each supply device 21. The position information 40 of the target site is associated with the terminal ID 39 in advance.

[0025] The container DB14 stores information about all the containers C existing in any one of the site where the recovery device 19 is arranged, the target site, and the vehicle 23. The container ID41 is a unique number assigned to the container C. The container ID41 is associated with the content information 42 of the container C. The content information 42 is the amount of CO ２ in the container C. ２

[0026] An index (not shown) representing the container ID41 is attached to the container C. Examples of the index include codes such as one-dimensional codes (barcodes) and two-dimensional codes, and IC tags. The IC tag is a tag including an IC chip recording information and an antenna. In addition to the container ID41, the index may include information such as the volume of the container C, the structure and material of the container C.

[0027] In addition to the index, if a GPS transmitter (not shown) is attached to the container C, the management system 10 can acquire the position information of the container C from the GPS transmitter. The GPS transmitter that receives radio waves from GPS satellites to acquire information and transmits position information using a mobile network, or the GPS transmitter that communicates with GPS satellites and the GPS satellites transmit position information can be used without limitation. The position information of the container C is associated with the container ID41.

[0028] The vehicle DB15 is a database storing information about the container C transported by the vehicle 23. The vehicle DB15 is associated with a transportation company ID43 assigned to the transportation company that owns the vehicle 23, a vehicle ID44 which is a unique number identifying the vehicle 23, the maximum load capacity 45 of the vehicle 23, the energy consumption rate 46 during the running of the vehicle 23, the emission unit 47, and transportation container information 48 which is information about the container C (filled container and used container) transported by the vehicle 23. The energy consumption rate 46 is the distance traveled per unit fuel (fuel consumption) or the distance traveled per unit power of the vehicle 23 (electricity cost). The emission unit 47 is the CO ２ emission amount per unit defined for each fuel or energy used for the running of the vehicle 23.

[0029] Terminal ID 49 is a unique number for the vehicle terminal 24 mounted on the vehicle 23. A GPS transmitter (not shown) may be mounted on 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 CO ２ This is a database that stores map data 51 for displaying the recovery device 19, vehicle 23, and target on a map. The map data 51 can be read by the recovery device terminal 20, the supply device terminal 22, and the vehicle terminal 24. The history DB 17 stores CO2 into container C. ２ The amount of CO2 being filled, the transport of container C, and the CO2 being transferred from container C to the target. ２ This is a database that stores container information 52, which is data associated with the supply quantity.

[0031] The recovery device terminal 20, the supply device terminal 22, and the vehicle terminal 24 include a reader (not shown) that reads the indicator attached to the container C. When the recovery device terminal 20 reads the indicator on the container C, CO ２ The inventory container information 33 for the recovery device 19 is formed. When the indicator of container C is read by the vehicle terminal 24, the transport container information 48 for the vehicle 23 is formed. When the indicator of container C is read by the supply device terminal 22, the inventory container information 38 for the target container is formed.

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

[0033] Figure 2(b) is a block diagram relating to the structure of the transport container information 48. The transport container information 48 is CO ２ The vehicle 23 transports the filled container from the recovery device 19 to the target, and CO2 is released from the target. ２ This information pertains to used containers transported by vehicle 23 to the collection 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 vehicle 23 to transport container C 54, and the amount of energy 55 consumed by 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, 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 wireless LANs. 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 the map by associating the location information 35, 40, 50 associated with container ID 41 with map data 51.２ The location information of the recovery device 19, the vehicle 23, the target, and the container C is stored in the map DB 16 as map data that can be read out.

[0039] The operation adjustment unit 28 adjusts CO 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. ２ CO2 recovered by the CO2 recovery device 19 ２ The amount of CO2 recovered and ２ CO supplied by supply device 21 ２ The supply amount is adjusted. The operational adjustment unit 28 adjusts the amount of CO consumed in the target. ２ When the amount is small, CO ２ Restrict the operation of the CO2 recovery device 19 ２ The amount of CO2 recovered is reduced. The operation adjustment unit 28 controls the amount of CO2 consumed in the target. ２ When the amount is large, CO ２ Increase the operating rate of the CO2 recovery device 19 ２ This increases the amount of CO2 recovered. ２ Recovery device 19 and CO ２ This reduces the over- or under-operation of the supply device 21.

[0040] The operation adjustment unit 28, based on arrival time information, determines if the container has arrived at the target at that time, and then CO ２ CO2 supply device 21 is targeted ２ When there is a shortage of containers to supply CO ２ Restricting the operation of the supply device 21 to reduce CO ２ The supply device 21 supplies CO to the target ２ Reduce the amount of CO ２ The supply device 21 can be stopped. Based on the arrival time information, the operation adjustment unit 28 will determine if a used container has arrived at that time. ２ CO recovered by recovery device 19 ２ When there is a shortage of used containers to fill with CO ２ Restrict the operation of the CO2 recovery device 19 ２ Reducing the amount of CO2 recovered ２ The recovery device 19 can be stopped. This allows CO ２ Recovery device 19 and CO ２ This reduces energy consumption caused by the unnecessary operation of the supply device 21.

[0041] The CO emissions calculation unit 29 calculates CO ２ CO2 between recovery and utilization ２ The system calculates the amount of emissions. The input processing unit 30 connects the recovery device terminal 20, the supply device terminal 22, and the vehicle terminal 24, the arrival time calculation unit 25, the information synthesis unit 26, the mapping unit 27, the operation adjustment unit 28, and the emission calculation unit 29, and the recovery 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 manages the history of container C, and the CO filled in container C ２ The amount, information on the vehicle 23 that transported container C, and the amount of CO supplied from container C to the target. ２ The quantity of CO2 and the container ID 41 attached to container C are obtained by associating them with each other, and container information 52 is generated. ２ The amount is the CO2 when filling container C with gas. ２ The management system 10 acquires the CO2 concentration, gas pressure and volume, temperature, etc., by detecting these parameters. ２ The amount is obtained by the management system 10 by detecting the pressure and flow rate of the gas released from container C.

[0043] Figure 3 is a block diagram relating to the structure of container information 52. Container information 52 includes a container ID 41 attached to container C, a unique number 56 associated with container ID 41, and the CO2 filled in container C. ２ The first quantity 57 is the amount of CO2, the distance traveled by the vehicle 23 54 is the distance transported by container C, the amount of energy consumed by the vehicle 23 in transporting container C 55, the energy consumption rate specific to the vehicle 23 that transported container C 46, the emission intensity specific to the vehicle 23 that transported container C 47, and the amount of CO2 supplied from container C to the target. ２ The second quantity, 58, is interconnected with other quantities.

[0044] Number 56 is CO2 using container C. ２ Each time it is moved (recovered and supplied), CO2 is added to container C. ２ After it is filled, the CO of container C ２The data from when it is used until it becomes a used container is associated with number 56. ２ The containers filled with CO are sequentially assigned the number 56 and stored in the history DB 17. Container information 52 is CO ２ Date and time of collection, CO2 in container C ２ Date and time when the container C was filled, date and time when container C was transported, CO2 transferred from container C to the target. ２ The data also includes time information such as the date and time it was supplied, and these are associated with the 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 storage device (not shown) of the processing unit 11. A storage medium 59 (see Figure 1) for storing the program may be connected to the processing unit 11 and the program may be executed by a computer. Examples of storage mediums 59 include hard disks and memory cards. In Figure 4, CO ２ CO recovered by recovery device 19 ２ Place it in a container, CO ２ The container C containing the CO is loaded onto vehicle 23, transported, and then unloaded at the target. ２ CO supplied by supply device 21 ２ This explains when the target uses it.

[0046] The management system 10 is CO ２ CO supplied by supply device 21 ２ The CO2 adjustment unit 28 adjusts the amount of CO2 in a balanced manner. ２ Adjust the operation of the recovery device 19 (S1). ２ CO recovered by recovery device 19 ２ The CO2 is filled into container C by a compressor or the like. Processing unit 11 processes the CO2 being filled into container C. ２ The concentration, pressure, volume, and temperature of CO2 entering container C are detected. ２ The quantity (first quantity 57) is obtained 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 the vehicle 23, destination information 53 is input for each container ID 41 via the vehicle terminal 24, and the processing unit 11 acquires the destination information 53 for each container ID 41 (S3). The processing unit 11 generates transport container information 48 based on the input from the vehicle terminal 24. The information synthesis unit 26 associates the container ID 41 of the containers C loaded onto the vehicle 23 with the location information 50 of the vehicle 23 (S4). The arrival time calculation unit 25 receives the location information 50 from the vehicle terminal 24, calculates the arrival time of each container C (the estimated arrival time of the vehicle 23) for each destination information 53 (S5), and outputs arrival information to the vehicle terminal 24 and to 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 acquires the mileage 54 and the amount of energy 55 (S7).

[0049] CO ２ When container C filled with CO is unloaded, the processing unit 11 generates inventory container information 38 based on input from the supply device terminal 22. When the unloading of container C is complete, CO ２ The container C is connected to the supply device 21 and the CO inside container C ２ The target is supplied. The management system 10 is CO ２ CO recovered by recovery device 19 ２ The CO2 adjustment unit 28 adjusts the amount of CO2 in a balanced manner. ２ The operation of the supply device 21 is adjusted (S8).

[0050] The processing unit 11 transfers CO2 from container C to the target. ２ CO supplied by supply device 21 ２ The pressure and flow rate of the CO2 supplied by container C are detected. ２The quantity (second quantity 58) is obtained for each container ID 41 (S9). The input processing unit 30 generates container information 52 by associating the unique number 56, container ID 41, first quantity 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 quantity 58 with each other (S10). The emission calculation unit 29 refers to the container information 52 and calculates the CO2 emitted by the vehicle 23 transporting container C. ２ CO ２ Calculate the emissions (S11).

[0051] The emissions calculation unit 29 calculates the CO2 emissions of the vehicle 23 by multiplying the energy amount 55 by the emission intensity 47. ２ The amount of CO2 emitted by the vehicle 23 is calculated by multiplying the distance traveled (54) by the energy consumption rate (46) and then multiplying that energy amount by the emission intensity (47). ２ This calculates the amount of emissions. Therefore, it is sufficient if either the driving distance 54 and the energy consumption rate 46, or the amount of energy 55, is included in the container information 52.

[0052] According to the management system 10, CO ２ The history of collection and supply is recorded as container information 52, CO ２ CO2 emissions are required when calculating supply chain emissions. ２ It is possible to acquire and associate information related to the transportation and delivery of the container C. Furthermore, by visualizing the location of container C, CO ２ It is possible to visualize the recovery and supply status of CO2, and furthermore, ２ This allows for a balance between the collection and supply of [the material].

[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, CO ２ CO2 is collected from the recovery device 19. ２ The case in which container information 52 is stored when container C is transported to the target of use has been explained, but it is not limited to this. ２The target of use is the CO inside container C ２ A portion of it is used, and container C is transported to another object, and the CO inside container C is used. ２ Similarly, when this is used, the container information 52 associated with the number 56 assigned to container C is stored.

[0055] In the embodiment, CO ２ CO2 is collected from the recovery device 19. ２ The example described is the transportation of container C by vehicle 23 to the target users, but it is not limited to this. ２ An intermediate storage facility for containers C (filled containers and used containers) is provided between the recovery device 19 and the target, CO ２ It is certainly possible to transport container C between the recovery device 19 and the intermediate base, and between the intermediate base and the target, using the vehicle 23.
