DATA PROCESSING OF CARBON OFFSETS FOR ENTITIES

摘要

Disclosed are various embodiments for performing data processing to identify an entity to offset carbon credits. A geolocation of a client device performing a transaction where an item is purchased is determined. At least one entity is identified from a plurality of potential entities from a data store based at least in part on the geolocation of the client device. An amount of carbon credits required to offset an amount of greenhouse gas emissions that has been or will be produced in association with the item is determined. If the transaction is to include a purchase for the amount of carbon credits, information associated with the transaction is communicated to the entity over a network.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in at least one computing device, the program comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the computing device to:
identify a geolocation of a client device performing a transaction where a quantity of fuel is purchased, the client device being in data communication with the computing device over a network; identify at least one entity from a plurality of potential entities from a data store based at least in part on the geolocation of the client device, wherein the entity performs a service within a predefined distance of the geolocation; determine an amount of carbon credits required to offset an amount of greenhouse gas emissions that will be produced in association with the quantity of fuel purchased; determine whether to include a purchase of the amount of carbon credits in the transaction; and in response to a determination that the purchase of the amount of carbon credits is to be included in the transaction, communicate information associated with the transaction to an application programming interface of the entity over the network.
