Solution Overview

Problem

Current carbon neutral certification processes are inefficient due to independent operations across business areas, lack of data sharing, and inadequate consideration of industrial chain optimization, leading to high costs and low efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A certification system for carbon neutrality that includes a carbon emission determination module, a carbon offset module, a certification module, and a database module to determine and share carbon emission data, perform residual carbon emission offset, and verify certification based on standards, facilitating one-stop online certification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If carbon neutral certification work is carried out independently in all business areas, then each area can maintain its operational autonomy, but data is not shared and certification efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational autonomyVSAvoidcertification efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges independent certification operations across different business areas into a unified certification system. The system integrates carbon emission determination, offset calculation, and certification issuance into a single platform that handles multiple business areas simultaneously, enabling data sharing and coordinated processing while maintaining the ability to serve diverse certification needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The certification system is designed with multi-functionality to serve various business areas through a single platform. It can determine carbon emissions for different types of entities, calculate offsets for various emission sources, and issue certifications across multiple domains, replacing the need for separate independent operations in each business area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Reliability

If manual examination and certification processes are used, then detailed verification can be performed, but examination costs are high and efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification qualityVSAvoidcertification efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service functionality where the certification system automatically determines carbon emissions, calculates offset requirements, and issues certifications without requiring manual examination for each case. The automated processes perform verification functions that previously required human examiners, significantly reducing examination costs while maintaining consistent verification quality through standardized algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If data is not shared across certification processes, then data security and privacy can be maintained, but fine management and control cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidmanagement capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The certification system acts as an intermediary platform that enables controlled data sharing across business areas. It centralizes data management with standardized data structures and access protocols, allowing different parts of the system to share necessary information for certification while maintaining security through centralized control and standardized interfaces that manage data flow between modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Ease of operation

If industrial chain coupling optimization is not considered, then each entity can be certified independently, but optimized carbon neutral certification cannot be formed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependent certificationVSAvoidoptimization capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system adds a new dimension to certification by incorporating industrial chain relationships into the certification process. It evaluates entities not only in isolation but also in the context of their position within the industrial chain, considering upstream and downstream connections. This enables optimization of carbon neutral certification across the entire industrial chain while still performing individual entity assessments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
