A computer-implemented method performed by at least one processor to automatically indicate environmental impact of consumption of energy physically generated and transmitted to a consumption location across at least one tracking and processing infrastructure, the method comprising: receive a signal associated with a request for environmental impact associated with a predetermined digital record of a first quantum of energy consumed in a selected time interval at a first consumption location; in response to receiving the signal, retrieve, by the processor from a first data store, the predetermined digital record of the first quantum of energy consumed; associate, by the processor, the digital record of the first quantum of energy consumed with a second quantum of energy generated at a generation location and a third quantum of energy transmitted via a physical transmission link during the selected time interval (525, 535); retrieve, by the processor, a first predetermined privilege to consume associated with the second quantum of energy generated and the first consumption location, and a second predetermined privilege to consume the third quantum of energy (520, 550); verify, by the processor, that the consumption location is associated with the second predetermined privilege to consume as a function of the first predetermined privilege to consume; generate and store, by the processor, a first digital association between the first quantum of energy, the second quantum of energy, the third quantum of energy, the first predetermined privilege to consume, and the second predetermined privilege to consume; and, perform environmental impact operations to generate an indication representing the environmental impact of the consumption location. receive a signal associated with a request for environmental impact associated with a predetermined digital record of a first quantum of energy consumed in a selected time interval at a first consumption location; in response to receiving the signal, retrieve, by the processor from a first data store, the predetermined digital record of the first quantum of energy consumed; associate, by the processor, the digital record of the first quantum of energy consumed with a second quantum of energy generated at a generation location and a third quantum of energy transmitted via a physical transmission link during the selected time interval (525, 535); retrieve, by the processor, a first predetermined privilege to consume associated with the second quantum of energy generated and the first consumption location, and a second predetermined privilege to consume the third quantum of energy (520, 550); verify, by the processor, that the consumption location is associated with the second predetermined privilege to consume as a function of the first predetermined privilege to consume; generate and store, by the processor, a first digital association between the first quantum of energy, the second quantum of energy, the third quantum of energy, the first predetermined privilege to consume, and the second predetermined privilege to consume; and, perform environmental impact operations to generate an indication representing the environmental impact of the consumption location.
