Carbonyl Compound Passports for Environmental Attribute Traceability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In complex chemical supply chains, achieving transparency in the environmental impact of CO compounds across value chain participants is challenging due to the complexity of the systems.
Innovation Solution
A system is developed that produces CO compounds associated with a CO compound passport or digital asset, which includes a chemical production network that tracks environmental attributes of input materials and chemical processes, and a production operating apparatus that generates and links decentral identifiers with these attributes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If a digital asset system with decentral identifiers is implemented to track environmental attributes, then transparency and traceability of environmental impact data is improved, but system complexity and implementation difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates digital copies (digital assets) of environmental attribute information that can be transmitted and stored independently from the physical chemical compounds. These digital assets contain decentralized identifiers that reference the environmental data, allowing transparent tracking without requiring complex physical tracking infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces digital assets as intermediary objects that mediate between the physical chemical compounds and the environmental attribute data. These digital assets serve as lightweight carriers of environmental information, simplifying the connection between physical materials and their environmental characteristics while reducing direct system complexity.
2Reliability
If environmental attributes are tracked for each CO compound through digital assets, then environmental transparency is improved, but data management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments environmental attribute tracking into discrete digital assets associated with individual CO compounds or batches. Each digital asset contains specific environmental attributes (carbon footprint, renewable content, etc.) as separate, manageable units, allowing precise tracking without requiring monolithic complex data structures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions environmental attribute management from the physical domain to the digital domain by creating digital assets with decentralized identifiers. This dimensional shift allows environmental data to be managed, stored, and transmitted independently from the physical chemical compounds, reducing the complexity of physical tracking infrastructure while maintaining data reliability.
