Abstract
A method can include (i) tracking, through a supply chain, by a computing device, a carbon containing process input; (ii) tracking, through the supply chain, by the computing device, a hydrocarbon fluid extracted from Earth by injecting the carbon containing process input into a subterranean environment; and (iii) determining, by the computing device, a quantity of fuel, produced from the hydrocarbon fluid, having a carbon intensity value based on sequestration of the carbon containing process input in the subterranean environment and utilization of at least one co-product of the carbon containing process input in the supply chain.
Claims46
A method comprising:
- tracking, through a supply chain, by a computing device, a carbon containing process input;
- tracking, through the supply chain, by the computing device, a hydrocarbon fluid extracted from Earth by injecting the carbon containing process input into a subterranean environment;
- and
- determining, by the computing device, a quantity of fuel, produced from the hydrocarbon fluid, having a carbon intensity value based on sequestration of the carbon containing process input in the subterranean environment or utilization of at least one co-product of the carbon containing process input in the supply chain.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device, information about a carbon containing process input, the information including a source for the carbon containing process input, a quantity of the carbon containing process input, and a quantity of the carbon containing process input sequestered in a subterranean environment;
- creating, by the computing device, for the carbon containing process input, an entry in a database, the entry including the information;
- identifying, by the computing device, fuel produced by injecting the carbon containing process input into the subterranean environment to extract a hydrocarbon fluid used in production of the fuel;
- and
- updating, by the computing device, the entry in the database to include a cross-reference to the fuel.
