Abstract

A system for legitimately evaluating the value added to the environment of renewable energy power generation is provided.
A renewable energy power generation company purchases the right (added value) of contributing to the environment through the business. The rights are sold to electricity consumers who are willing to contribute to the environment. When buying and selling this right, we will use a certificate that quantifies and certifies the amount of power generation or environmental contribution. The certificate will be registered using an electronic system to prevent counterfeiting. As a result, power consumers with a willingness to contribute to the environment are satisfied to make a visible contribution to the environment, and renewable energy power producers are properly evaluated for the environmental added value of renewable energy power generation.

Description

  The present invention is intended to promote a power generation business using natural energy called renewable energy such as wind power and solar energy, and evaluates the contribution to the subsidy provider for the power generation business in terms of environmental contribution. About the system.

  Power generation using renewable energy such as wind power, solar energy, marine energy, geothermal heat, etc. is high in power generation cost, but it is environmentally friendly and has less environmental impact. It is being recognized as having great value.

  This added value is purchased through various subsidy programs by the government for new energy and high-price purchase systems by electric power companies, and is applied to power generation costs.

  Since such added value is equivalent to the point that it is environmentally friendly and has a low environmental impact, purchasing such added value contributes to environmental conservation through renewable energy power generation. Means.

  However, in the subsidy system as described above, the power consumer cannot contribute quantitatively through renewable energy power generation and cannot quantitatively evaluate how much it has contributed to the environment.

  Moreover, the renewable energy power generation operators themselves are not properly evaluated for the added value related to environmental contribution, and are misunderstood as merely supplying high-cost electric power.

  Therefore, as a matter of course, there is also no environment-added value trading market associated with power generation. Moreover, if a renewable energy power generation company tries to directly deal with a power consumer who recognizes added value to the environment, there is a problem that a consignment fee is added.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem. The first object is to evaluate and recognize the added value in renewable energy power generation, and the purchase of the added value by electric power consumers who are willing to contribute to the environment. The second challenge is to provide opportunities for environmental conservation through

  In addition, a legitimate value-added evaluation system is provided to both renewable energy power generation companies and electric power consumers who are willing to contribute to the environment without being charged a consignment fee (providing a virtual market for value-added transactions) The third problem is to promote renewable energy power generation.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following means. The present invention establishes an organization that certifies the degree of environmental contribution by renewable energy power generation, issues a certificate that evaluates the degree of contribution, and buys and sells the certificate, leaving the added value evaluation to the market system. It is an invention used in terms of making a legitimate evaluation.

Further, since the value-added transaction based on the certificate becomes a system separated from actual power trading, the necessity of power consignment is eliminated. In order to guarantee the effectiveness of the certificate, an organization that certifies the degree of environmental contribution is established or outsourced to an existing organization, and from the perspective of preventing counterfeiting, the certificate is a registration system and even if the certificate is resold, Impose registration obligations. In order to maintain the objectivity of authentication, it is preferable to have a third party organization (particularly a non-profit organization) entrust and authenticate.

  In order to realize such a situation, the renewable energy power generation value-added evaluation system of the present invention uses a lot of business subsidies provided to a power generation business that generates power while protecting the environment by using renewable energy. To the business subsidy provider with a contribution degree acquisition means that acquires numerical value data as an environmental contribution degree and an environmental contribution added value evaluation proof that gives the environmental contribution degree obtained by this contribution degree acquisition means as an added value Evaluation certificate issuing means for issuing. Since the environmental contribution frequency acquired by the contribution frequency acquisition means may be numerical data indicating the amount of business subsidy, it may be data as it is the amount of business subsidy.

  As a result, it is possible to evaluate and recognize the added value in renewable energy power generation, and it is possible to provide an opportunity for electric power consumers who have an intention to contribute to the environment to contribute to environmental conservation through the purchase of the added value. .

  Furthermore, in order to be able to purchase power from renewable energy power generation without imposing a consignment fee, power will be transferred from the renewable energy power generation company to the first power company in the region where the renewable energy power generation company is located. On the other hand, the business subsidy provider receives power supply from the second electric power company in the area to which the business subsidy belongs, and on this assumption, the electricity bill according to the power consumption of the business subsidy provider In addition to the above, the electricity fee withdrawing means for deducting a predetermined amount of business subsidy from the financial institution account of the business subsidy provider to the financial institution account of the second electric power company, and the amount withdrawn by this electricity rate deducting means And subsidy withdrawal means for withdrawing only business subsidies from among them, and also acquiring the amount of business subsidies as the degree of environmental contribution consisting of numerical data And an evaluation certificate issuing means for issuing to the business subsidy provider an environmental contribution value-added evaluation certificate in which the environmental contribution level acquired by the contribution level acquisition means is added as added value. I made it. Of course, the first electric power company and the second electric power company may be the same.

  In the present invention, the renewable energy is commonly called natural energy, and includes wind power, solar energy, small and medium hydropower, biomass (bioenergy), marine energy, geothermal heat, unused energy, and the like. Wind power is used for power generation by a windmill, for example. Solar energy uses its light and heat for power generation. Small and medium hydraulic power is, for example, power generation by a water turbine. Biomass (bioenergy) decomposes rice, straw, livestock manure, etc. into microorganisms, and uses the heat and gas generated at that time for power generation. Ocean energy is used for power generation due to waves, tides, tidal periods, and temperature differences between seawater. Geothermal heat is generated from the hot spring heat in the volcanic area. Unused energy is temperature difference energy such as domestic wastewater and sewage, and this is used for power generation.

  Here, the evaluation certificate issuing means includes a printing machine, and the environmental contribution added value evaluation certificate can be a certificate printed by the printing machine, and the added value corresponding to the environmental contribution degree is set here. It is desirable to describe.

  It is preferable to provide a proof original book database in which the business subsidy provider is a registered holder in response to the evaluation certificate issuance by the evaluation certificate issuing means, and the degree of environmental contribution is registered together with a registration number in correspondence with the registered holder.

  Furthermore, it is desirable to provide a name change means for rewriting the registered name holder registered in the proof original book database. Then, it is possible to evaluate the degree of environmental contribution for each year and register it in the proof book database.

  The evaluation certification issuing means is owned by an evaluation certification business operator, the subsidy withdrawal means withdraws the business subsidy to the financial institution account of the evaluation certification business operator, and the evaluation certification business operator collects the business subsidy collected. It is desirable to have a transfer instruction means for instructing the transfer to a financial institution account of a renewable energy power generation company.

  The evaluation certificate issuing means is preferably owned by a renewable energy power generation company, and the subsidy withdrawal means preferably withdraws the business subsidy to the financial institution account of the renewable energy power generation company.

  In the present invention, for the distribution of added value as described above, the amount of business subsidies provided to the power generation business that generates power while protecting the environment by using renewable energy is expressed as the degree of environmental contribution consisting of numerical data. We propose a distribution system for environmental contribution value-added evaluation certificates that distributes environmental contribution value-added evaluation certificates issued to business subsidy providers.

  This system sells the securities trading market realized on a server connected to a communication network and the environmental contribution value-added evaluation certificate as valuables according to the degree of environmental contribution attached thereto on the securities trading market. A purchase request accepting means for accepting a sale request for sale and a purchase accepting a purchase request for purchasing the environmental contribution value-added evaluation certification as a valuable item corresponding to the degree of environmental contribution attached thereto on the securities trading market And a request receiving means. Furthermore, it is preferable that a sale success / failure determination unit that determines that the sale has been completed when the sale request received by the sale request posting unit matches the purchase request received by the purchase request reception unit.

  In the above, it is preferable that the environmental contribution value-added evaluation certificate can be transferred by dividing the environmental contribution degree into small pieces. For example, in the proof original book database at the time of division, the degree of environmental contribution after division is registered together with the change of the holder.

  The environmental contribution value-added evaluation certificate can be configured as a certificate printed by a printing machine, but can also be configured as an electronic certificate. For example, using technology to prevent electronic duplication such as electronic watermarks, the holder and the environmental contribution level will be provided as electronic information. change.

  The above configurations can be combined with each other as much as possible.

  The present invention provides a place for legitimately evaluating the value added to the environment of renewable energy power generation for both renewable energy power generation companies and electric power consumers who are willing to contribute to the environment. In addition to satisfying both parties, it contributes to the promotion of renewable energy power generation.

  In addition, while supplying power from a renewable energy power generation company to the first power company in the region where the renewable energy power generation company exists, the business subsidy provider will supply the second power in the region to which the person belongs. If a system that separates the actual flow of electricity from the flow of subsidy provision is to receive power supply from an electric power company, for example, wind power generators and electric power consumers with a willingness to contribute to the environment Even if they exist remotely, certificates can be exchanged without power consignment, which contributes to solving problems such as the uneven distribution of wind resources.

In the present invention, the new concept of environmental contribution value-added evaluation certification can be registered and managed fairly using a proof book database using a computer, etc., and a new valuable transaction market can be provided to protect the environment. In the 21st century, which is highly probable, it will ensure fair distribution of new securities.

The figure which shows Embodiment 1 of this invention The figure which shows Embodiment 2 of this invention Schematic diagram showing computer resources and the like used in the embodiment Conceptual diagram of securities trading market on homepage

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, a description will be given with reference to FIGS. The difference between the example in FIG. 1 and the example in FIG. 2 is the difference in the method of collecting value-added charges (business subsidies) from electric power consumers who have an intention to contribute to the environment.

  That is, in the example of FIG. 1, the value-added price is paid directly to the renewable energy value-added certification business. Renewable energy value-added certification companies issue and register value-added certificates for renewable energy power generation, and act as intermediaries between renewable energy power generation companies and electric power consumers who are willing to contribute to the environment.

  On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 2, the electric power company collects a set together with the electricity bill, and is later paid by the electric power company to the renewable energy value-added certification business. Regarding these systems, in addition to FIGS. 1 and 2, referring to FIG. 3, to renewable energy companies, electric power consumers (willing to contribute to the environment), electric power companies, and renewable energy power generation value-added certification companies The explanation is as follows.

  (Renewable energy power generation company) Renewable energy companies include renewable energy (natural energy) such as wind power, solar energy, small and medium hydropower, biomass (biological energy), marine energy, and geothermal heat. Businesses have power generation facilities that use these energy sources.

  The renewable energy power generation company makes a power purchase and sales contract with the A power company that has jurisdiction over the region where the renewable energy power generation facilities exist, and sells the generated power. In addition, inform the renewable energy power generation value-added certificate business operator of their intention to sell the environmental value-added value (specify location, wind conditions, environmental value-added sale price, amount, and power generation time).

  Renewable energy operators have a computer system that can be connected to the Internet. Moreover, this computer is used as a WWW server to have a home page for advertising its business.

  Furthermore, the renewable energy business has a financial institution account into which the sale price of the environmental contribution added value is transferred.

  (Electric power consumer with an intention to contribute to the environment) An electric power consumer who lives in a jurisdiction different from the electric power company A, that is, an electric power consumer in the jurisdiction of the electric power company B makes a normal electric power purchase contract with the electric power company B. If this electric power consumer has a willingness to contribute to the environment, inform the operator issuing the renewable energy power generation value-added certificate of the intention to purchase the environment-added value (specify the desired price, amount, and time of purchase).

  The electric power consumer has a financial institution account for automatic deduction of electricity charges with the electric power company B. Further, the power consumer has a computer terminal that can be connected to the Internet.

  (Renewable energy power generation value-added certification business) A company that issues a renewable energy power generation value-added certificate (environmental contribution certificate) must register both renewable energy power generation companies and electric power consumers who are willing to contribute to the environment. It is conducted on an electronic system, mediates value added evaluations for environmental contributions, and receives commissions.

  In FIGS. 1 and 2, a renewable energy power generation value-added certification business once purchases renewable energy power generation value added as a valuable resource from a renewable energy power generation business, It takes the form of selling to electricity consumers who have. Electric power consumers provide business subsidies as the value-added trading value.

  Also, for the purpose of preventing the forgery of the certificate, operations such as certificate registration management are performed using an electronic system. In issuing this certificate, an organization that certifies the degree of environmental contribution (referred to as an environmental contribution degree certifier) is established to certify the added value of the certificate. In this way, it is quantitatively evaluated that the price for added value paid by electric power consumers with an environmental contribution will surely contribute to the environment. This certification may be performed by a renewable energy power generation value-added certification business operator, but in order to ensure the objectivity of evaluation, a non-profit third-party organization such as a certification committee will be established to invest in added value ( Authenticate that business subsidies were provided fairly.

  In order to realize the above, a renewable energy power generation value-added certification company has a computer system that can be connected to the Internet, and this system is used as a WWW server, and on this server, renewable energy is used to protect the environment. Value-adding means to acquire the amount of business subsidies provided to the power generation business while generating electricity as an environmental contribution degree consisting of numerical data, and the environmental contribution degree obtained by this contribution degree acquisition means to add value And an evaluation certificate issuing means for issuing an environmental contribution value-added evaluation certificate granted to a business subsidy provider (electric power consumer). These are available on the home page on the WWW server.

  Here, the evaluation certificate issuing means includes a printing machine, and issues a certificate with the printing machine as the environmental contribution added value evaluation certificate. The certificate (environmental contribution certificate) issued by the renewable energy power generation value-added certification business operator includes the value added according to the degree of environmental contribution (environmental value-added purchase price: the amount of subsidy provided), as well as power generation. The location, power generation company, power generation period, and amount of power generated (predicted value from wind condition data in the first year, the previous year's results from the following year) are specified. In addition, specific environmental contribution indicators such as the amount of carbon or carbon dioxide reduction are specified as necessary.

  In addition, an external storage device is connected to the WWW server, and the business subsidy provider is used as a registered holder in response to the evaluation certificate issuance by the evaluation certificate issuing means using the external storage device. A proof original book database is provided for registering the degree of environmental contribution together with a registration number and the items described in the certificate in correspondence with the holder.

Certificate management is performed by this database. This management can also be performed via the homepage operated by the WWW server, a membership Internet homepage on an existing system provided by another provider, or the like. To issue a certificate, the ID number and password are registered in advance by an environmental contribution degree certified person registered in advance, and the environmental contribution certificate issuance procedure is made inaccessible to anyone other than this registrant. The person who recognized the environmental contribution who opened this management site fills in the necessary items based on the facts. The administrator of this management site manages the issued environmental contribution certificates by managing the certificate issuance number and certificate issuers, the power generation facilities for which the certificates are issued, the power generation period, the power generation amount, etc., using the electronic system, Manage issued certificates so that there are no errors. Therefore, the issuer of the certificate shall be obliged to contact the transfer of ownership when the certificate ownership is transferred to a third party in order to guarantee the authenticity of the certificate he has. . The certificate issuer is given an ID number and a password for each registration number of the certificate, and a certificate with a single registration number determined by the ID and password can be confirmed. By this system, the certificate issuer can show the credibility of the certificate held by the third party to the third party by accessing this management site when transferring the ownership.

  As described above, since the certification content is stored as electronic data, the certification itself does not need to be issued as paper as described above, and can be issued as an electronic certification using a recording medium such as an IC card. . In that case, the electronic certificate can be issued to the power consumer via the Internet. In addition, electronic proofs are provided with anti-duplication means so that their contents cannot be duplicated. Also, when selling “added value” possessed by electronic proofs, rewriting the name, dividing added value, etc. The IC card is reissued or rewritten after changing the contents of the certification original book database.

  In order to change the name, the computer system includes name change means for rewriting a registered name registered in the certification original book database. Further, the computer system of the renewable energy power generation value-added certification business operator is connected to the computer system of the certification committee, and each time the “value added” is sold, the fairness is electronically authenticated. For this reason, a non-profit third party organization such as an authentication committee may be provided with an authentication means for assigning an authentication number each time in the computer system.

  (Electric power company) The above-mentioned A electric power company is involved only in purchasing electric power generated by renewable energy through a normal transaction with a renewable energy company. The electric power generated by the renewable energy is not entrusted to the electric power consumer in charge of the B electric power company.

  In addition, electric power company B is a power consumer who is willing to contribute to the environment (providing business subsidies that are willing to provide business subsidies for power generation businesses that use renewable energy to generate electricity while preserving the environment. Only a normal power purchase contract is signed with the person), and there is no change in the power trading activity. Even if the A power company and the B power company are the same power company, the system is the same except that the problem of consignment is eliminated.

  Each electric power company also has a computer terminal for Internet connection. It also has a financial institution account for collecting electricity charges.

  (Financial institution) In addition to the electricity charge according to the amount of power consumed purchased from the B power company, the environmental contribution added value (predetermined amount of business subsidy) is the financial institution account of the power consumer (business subsidy provider) Electricity charge deduction means to be deducted from B to the electric power company's financial institution account is provided in the computer system of the financial institution, and environmental contribution added value (business subsidy) from the amount deducted by this electricity charge deduction means A subsidy withdrawal means is provided in the computer system of the financial institution to withdraw only the renewable energy power generation value-added certification business operator's financial institution account.

  The environmental contribution added value (business subsidy) deducted to the financial institution's account of the renewable energy power generation value-added certification business is deducted from the fee of the renewable energy power generation value-added certification business. It is transferred to the institutional account.

  (Distribution of Environmental Contribution Certificates Issued by the System) The environmental contribution certificate issued as described above can be the subject of transactions as securities having an environmental contribution added value.

In ISO 14001, the introduction “The systematic adoption and implementation of a set of environmental management techniques will yield optimal results for all stakeholders. In order to achieve environmental objectives, the environmental management system encourages organizations to consider the application of best available technologies where appropriate and economically feasible. In addition, the environmental management system requirements of ISO 14001 Chapter 4 should be fully considered in the cost effectiveness of such technology. The management environmental policy shall be established and the following matters shall be ensured regarding the policy. ”And“ b) There is agreement that "including commitments prevention of continued improvement and pollution. Furthermore, ISO 14001 Annex A.1. The first is the general requirement: “If the environmental management system described in this specification is implemented, the goal is to improve the environmental performance as a result .... Continuous improvement of the environmental management system. The degree and scope are determined by the organization in the light of economic and other circumstances. "

  For these reasons, the significance and proof of making environmental contributions as environmental management in general companies and the like are extremely important. From such a meaning, by certifying that the environmental contribution added value according to the present invention has been purchased with the environmental contribution certificate, the company or the like fulfills the responsibility of environmental management defined by ISO14001. This is why environmental contribution certificates can become securities.

  Therefore, the amount of business subsidies provided for power generation projects that generate electricity while preserving the environment by using renewable energy is given as an environmental contribution degree consisting of numerical data. An environmental contribution value added evaluation certificate (environment contribution certificate) distribution system that distributes the issued environmental contribution value added evaluation certificate is required.

  For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4, the securities trading market (homepage) realized on a server connected to the Internet and the environmental contribution value-added evaluation certificate are valued according to the degree of environmental contribution attached thereto. A sale request accepting means for accepting a sale request for sale on the securities trading market as a product, and the environmental contribution value-added evaluation certificate as a valuable item according to the degree of environmental contribution attached thereto. Buy / sell success / failure determination that determines that the sale is successful when the purchase request accepting means for accepting a purchase request for purchase, the sale request accepted by the sale wish posting means, and the purchase request accepted by the purchase wish accepting means match. And a means are provided in the WWW server.

  Those who wish to purchase an environmental contribution certificate, which is an environmental contribution value-added evaluation certificate, access the homepage that hosts the securities trading market from an Internet terminal, proceed to the purchase application page that constitutes the purchase request acceptance means, and Enter your name / name, contact information, desired environmental contribution, desired purchase price, etc.

  Those who wish to sell an environmental contribution certificate, which is an environmental contribution value-added evaluation certificate, access the homepage hosting the securities trading market from an internet terminal, proceed to the sale application page that constitutes the sale request acceptance means, Enter your name / name, contact information, desired environmental contribution to sell, desired sale price, etc.

  The sale success / failure determination means determines that the sale is successful when the sale request received by the sale request posting means matches the purchase request received by the purchase request reception means, and notifies the sale applicant and the purchase applicant. .

A person who wishes to purchase an environmental contribution certificate, which is an environmental contribution value-added evaluation certificate, posts the purchase conditions on the website hosting the securities trading market, or an environmental contribution certificate, which is an environmental contribution value-added evaluation certificate. The person who wants to sell the site posted the desired conditions for sale on the website hosting the securities trading market, and the buyers and buyers who viewed them each wanted to sell / buy the market via email. It may be sent to a renewable energy power generation value-added certification business.

  The value added to the environmental contribution is evaluated as the value of the business subsidy = the degree of environmental contribution, but here the degree of contribution need not be determined in direct proportion to the business subsidy. In addition, the value of environmental contribution added value is expected to fluctuate in the market. If renewable energy power generation is supplied in excess of that need, the value added to the environment will decrease, and the importance of environmental management responsibilities defined in ISO14001 will be recognized, and the need to seek value added to the environment Of course, as the price increases, the market price will rise.

  (Operation of this system) First, a power consumer who has an intention to contribute to the environment makes a purchase application for added value for the environment. This may be done for the electric power company B or may be applied on a homepage hosted by a renewable energy power generation value-added certification business.

  In the former case, a value-added purchase fee is collected by debiting the account as a business subsidy added according to the normal electricity usage. The amount of business subsidy accompanying the power consumption is acquired by the contribution degree acquisition means as the environmental contribution degree consisting of numerical data. Here, the value of money = the degree of environmental contribution.

  In the latter case, only a value-added purchase fee is paid as a business subsidy. When this amount is input, it is acquired by the contribution degree acquisition means as an environmental contribution degree consisting of numerical data. The amount corresponding to the degree of environmental contribution is added to the normal electricity bill and withdrawn from the financial institution account of the power consumer.

  Next, the evaluation certificate issuing means issues an environmental contribution added value evaluation certificate that gives the environmental contribution degree acquired by the contribution degree acquiring means as an added value to the electric power consumer who is a business subsidy provider.

  The value-added purchase fee is withdrawn to the account of the electric power company, and then transferred to the account of the renewable energy power generation company via the financial institution account of the renewable energy power generation value added certification company.
