Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for producing a chemical product associated with at least one environmental attribute. The environmental attribute may be associated with vegetable oil and may be attributed to the chemical product produced using the vegetable oil.
Claims15
A method for producing a chemical product associated with at least one environmental attribute, wherein the chemical product is produced by a chemical production using one or more vegetable oils(s) as input material, the method comprising:
- receiving units of token(s) linked to one or more environmental attributes associated with the one or more of the vegetable oil(s) at an address associated with a distributed ledger, wherein the address is associated with the operating system of the chemical production;
- producing the chemical product at least in part from the one or more vegetable oil(s) with the chemical production;
- providing a chemical product identifier associated with the chemical product and optionally at least one target environmental attribute;
- based on the chemical product identifier and optionally the target environmental attribute, selecting at least one attribution rule for attributing token(s) linked to one or more environmental attributes(s) associated with vegetable oil(s) to chemical product(s);
- determining via the at least one attribution rule units of token(s) linked to one or more environmental attribute(s);
- assigning the determined units of token(s) linked to the one or more environmental attribute(s) to the chemical product identifier;
- and
- providing the chemical product associated with the units of token(s).
A system for producing a chemical product associated with at least one environmental attribute, the system comprising:
- a chemical production configured to produce the chemical product using one or more vegetable oils(s) as input material and to provide the produced chemical product,
- a distributed ledger application configured to receive units of token(s) linked to one or more environmental attributes associated with the one or more of the vegetable oil(s) at address associated with a distributed ledger, wherein the address is associated with the operating system of the chemical production,
- an attribution module configured to provide at least one attribution rule for attributing token(s) linked to one or more environmental attributes(s) associated with vegetable oil(s) to chemical product(s);
- a data provider configured to provide at least one chemical product identifier associated with the chemical product and optionally at least one target environmental attribute for the chemical product;
- and
- an outbound allocator configured to
- select based on the chemical product identifier and optionally the target environmental attribute at least one attribution rule,
- determine via the at least one attribution rule units of token(s) linked to one or more environmental attribute(s), and
- assign units of at least one of the tokens linked to the one or more environmental attribute(s) to the chemical product identifier.
A digital operating system of a chemical production, wherein the chemical production produces a chemical product using one or more vegetable oils(s) as input material, the digital operating system comprising:
- a distributed ledger application configured to receive units of token(s) linked to one or more environmental attributes associated with the one or more of the vegetable oil(s) at address associated with a distributed ledger, wherein the address is associated with the operating system of the chemical production,
- an attribution module configured to provide at least one attribution rule for attributing token(s) linked to one or more environmental attributes(s) associated with vegetable oil(s) to chemical product(s);
- a data provider configured to provide at least one chemical product identifier associated with the chemical product and optionally at least one target environmental attribute for the chemical product;
- and
- an outbound allocator configured to
- select based on the chemical product identifier and optionally the target environmental attribute at least one attribution rule,
- determine via the at least one attribution rule units of token(s) linked to one or more environmental attribute(s), and
- assign units of at least one of the tokens linked to the one or more environmental attribute(s) to the chemical product identifier.
