METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ASSOCIATING CARBON EMISSION REDUCTION CREDITS WITH AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

摘要

A computer-implemented method of associating carbon emission reduction credits (CERCs) with agricultural products. The method includes receiving with a computer system data representative of a number of CERCs assigned to an agricultural producer; receiving with the computer system data representative of an approximate amount of agricultural product produced by the agricultural producer; associating in the computer system the agricultural product produced by the agricultural producer with the CERCs assigned to the agricultural producer; and when the agricultural product is sold by the agricultural producer to a buyer, transferring the CERCs associated with the agricultural product to the buyer.
