Some embodiments qualify an item and a protocol associated with the item by determining an amount of environmental conservation that is related to the actual use or implementation of the item by a registrant. Some embodiments quantify the environmental conservation of an item by determining an amount of emissions reduction, energy savings, hazardous wastes or materials that are properly disposed of, or generated renewable energy associated from the qualified environmental conservation of the item. Some embodiments then valuate the quantified environmental conservation to issue a tradable credit. Some embodiments provide a protocol generation engine. The protocol generation engine of some embodiments automatically generates a new protocol for an environmental conservation item from the environmental conservation properties of the item. Some embodiments of the protocol generation engine provide an interface for the manual generation of a protocol. |
