Carbon Interface is an API to generate carbon emissions estimates. Right now my API can calculate emissions for flights, driving, shipping and electricity generation.

In addition to making the estimates more robust, I am working on having the algorithms behind the estimates certified by international bodies to increase the trust of my API.

This is really cool, but limiting to the US for electricity is obviously not great. What plans do you have to expand outside the us/let us provide our own mixes? It would be interesting for example to show savings that could be achieved by switching from your current providers "mix" to self provided solar

Adding more regions electricity is on the priority list after certifying my flights and shipping estimates with their related emissions government bodies!

WTF. This is unironically exactly what I need for work right now. Definitely looking into this!

Great! Would love to hear more about your use case.

Website looks really great. I’m curious, did you build this from scratch, or did you use some established boilerplate to make it?

Thanks! The design is a template from bootstrap themes called Landkit.

The actual backend is done in Rails and I built everything myself on top of that.
