Abstract
In accordance with one aspect, a system for facilitating carbon-equivalent offsets from contrails includes at least one processor and at least one memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system at least to: identify a flight designated for a contrail reduction procedure; determine, after the flight is completed, whether the flight executed the contrail reduction procedure and achieved contrail reduction; and based on determining that the flight executed the contrail reduction procedure and achieved contrail reduction, include, in a carbon offset exchange service, a carbon-equivalent offset listing corresponding to the flight.
Claims21
A system for facilitating carbon-equivalent offsets from contrails, the system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system at least to:
- identify a flight designated for a contrail reduction procedure;
- determine, after the flight is completed, whether the flight executed the contrail reduction procedure and achieved contrail reduction;
- and
- based on determining that the flight executed the contrail reduction procedure and achieved contrail reduction, include, in a carbon offset exchange service, a carbon-equivalent offset listing corresponding to the flight.
A method for facilitating carbon-equivalent offsets from contrails, the method comprising:
- identifying a flight designated for a contrail reduction procedure;
- determining, after the flight is completed, whether the flight executed the contrail reduction procedure and achieved contrail reduction;
- and
- based on determining that the flight executed the contrail reduction procedure and achieved contrail reduction, including, in a carbon offset exchange service, a carbon-equivalent offset listing corresponding to the flight.
A processor-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by at least one processor of a system, cause the system at least to:
- identify a flight designated for a contrail reduction procedure;
- determine, after the flight is completed, whether the flight executed the contrail reduction procedure and achieved contrail reduction;
- and
- based on determining that the flight executed the contrail reduction procedure and achieved contrail reduction, include, in a carbon offset exchange service, a carbon-equivalent offset listing corresponding to the flight.
