20090119122 | Retail Item - Offset Pairing for Neutral Environmental Impact - Systems and methods for pairing negative and positive environmental impacts are disclosed. The system and methods include pairing negative environmental impacts from retail item production and manufacturing with positive environmental impacts from projects, resulting in retail items that are neutral with respect to environmental effects. The systems and methods offset negative environmental impact for retail items by determining a positive environmental impact associated with a project and calculating micro-units based on the amount of negative impact from each retail item. A unique identifier is assigned to each micro-unit and the micro-unit-retail unit pairing is stored. The system can be implemented via a computer system. | 05-07-2009 |
20090119025 | Quantification And Quality Grading For Carbon Sequestered Via Ocean Fertilization - Systems and methods for qualifying and quantifying carbon sequestered in the ocean following ocean fertilization events are disclosed. The system and methods can be used to accurately quantify amounts of carbon sequestered and the minimum periods of time before which the sequestered carbon returned to the atmosphere as CO2. The system and methods assign quality grades to sequestered carbon by determining minimum depth thresholds associated with periods of time until which ocean water will be exposed to the atmosphere. The system can be implemented via a computer system. | 05-07-2009 |
20090118859 | Ocean Fertilization Project Identification and Inventorying - Systems and methods for coordinating ocean fertilization efforts and inventorying carbon storage unit segments in ocean fertilization projects are disclosed. The system and methods can be used to segment and identify units of carbon sequestered for storage with additional information associated with the projects. The system and methods inventory carbon storage unit segments, segment the project into single carbon unit segments, associate an identifier with each segment, and index the identified segments and associated information. The system can be implemented via a computer system. | 05-07-2009 |
