Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 14:
15. Non-transitory computer readable medium that stores computer instructions that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
receive a request for a first transfer of resources from a first source to a first destination;
estimate an emission amount related to an energy utilization associated with the execution of computer operations by a plurality of distributed networked computer systems,
wherein the energy utilization is associated with the execution of the computer operations by the plurality of distributed networked computer systems in implementing the first transfer of resources to the first destination;
enable a determination of a set of one or more emission offsets corresponding to the estimated emission amount related to the energy utilization associated with the execution of computer operations used in the first transfer of resources from the first source to the first destination by the plurality of distributed networked computer systems, the set of one or more emission offsets comprising sequestering to remove carbon dioxide for an atmosphere via:
planting of trees and/or other plants,
subsurface saline aquifers,
peat bogs,
bio-energy,
biochar,
ocean fertilization, and/or

passing emissions through a vessel with a liquid solvent that absorbs carbon dioxide and conducting the carbon dioxide; and
initiate the determined set of one or more emission offsets corresponding to the estimated emission amount related to the energy utilization associated with the execution of computer operations used in the first transfer of resources from the first source to the first destination by the plurality of distributed networked computer systems by transmitting an instruction to at least one destination to implement at least a portion of the determined set of one or more emission offsets.
