The data center 27 converts the carbon emissions of the electrical products 60a, 60b based on the product power consumption data (S217), and stores the carbon emissions into a database for download by the manufacturer 28 or the user 29. Thereby, the manufacturer 28 or the user 29 can pay the carbon tax based on the product power consumption data.

The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
