Three Examples

Near future concrete plans

Vision of the PEAR Carbon Offset Initiative

Carbon management platform for individuals triggered by carbon offsetting

Minami-Senrioka low carbon new civic zone (Osaka)

Household-level ETS (incentive framework) + custom-made energy saving diagnosis (prescription)

The ultimate concept

Individual-level ETS covering whole economy

Dual economy (emission allowance as a ‘currency’)

Carbon Management Proposal by PEAR

How much CO2 per each consumption? [Inventory]

CO2 emissions (LCA) per each price-tag

Carbon management practice

“Carbon account” for individuals

CO2 inventory for individuals Platform for carbon offsetting Simple energy saving diagnosis based on statistical data/analysis

New IT system enables automatic input of emissions by consumption New IT system enables automatic input of emissions by consumption

Proper Information + Incentive in Minami-Senrioka (Osaka)

Accurate and real-time monitoring system

Energy use, temperature,… (several points per household) Precise real-time inventory information

Custom-made energy saving diagnosis/advices

Two-way communication with feedback

Household level ETS as a incentive framework (under design)

Kyoto-type (voluntary C&T(?)+ B&C)

Resource from outside needed

Emission credits as local currency
