Method for CO2 Emission-Dependent Supply of at Least One Electrical Consumer with Electrical Energy, System and Computer Program

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention describes a method, system, and computer program for supplying at least one electrical consumer (such as a device or appliance) with electricity based on current CO2 emission levels. The system determines the real-time CO2 emissions associated with the available electricity at the consumer's location and provides this information to users, who can then make informed decisions about when to use power to minimize their carbon footprint.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Smart home energy management systems to reduce CO2 emissions.
• Industrial operations aiming to schedule energy-intensive processes during periods of lower grid CO2 impact.
• Commercial buildings adjusting HVAC or lighting usage to align with cleaner energy generation times.
• Electric vehicle charging stations optimizing charge times for minimal carbon impact.
• Utility companies providing eco-friendly usage recommendations to customers.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Reduces carbon emissions by enabling consumption to shift towards periods with cleaner energy generation.
• Empowers users with real-time information to make environmentally conscious energy choices.
• Can integrate seamlessly with existing smart grid and home automation technologies.
• Contributes to corporate or individual sustainability goals and ESG targets.
• Promotes more efficient, greener energy consumption patterns on a wide scale.
