Claim 7:
8. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
receiving via over a network a request for a first transfer of resources from a first source to a first destination;
predicting, using one or more computer systems, an emission amount related to an energy utilization associated with an 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, the computer operations comprising solving mathematical algorithmic problems and recording a data block on a distributed synchronized database;
using one or more computer systems to enable an identification of a set of one or more emission offsets corresponding to a predicted emission footprint related to the energy utilization associated with the execution of computer operations used in performing the first transfer of resources from the first source to the first destination by the plurality of distributed networked computer systems to be determined, the set of one or more emission offsets comprising sequestering to remove carbon dioxide for an atmosphere via:
planting of an organism,
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
initiating the determined set of one or more emission offsets corresponding to the predicted emission footprint related to the energy utilization associated with the execution of computer operations used in performing 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 remote networked computer system to implement at least a portion of the determined set of one or more emission offsets.
