Inspiration
Although there are many Carbon emission calculators, there is no way to easily track your carbon emission. So I created a way to track carbon emissions over time.
What it does
Based on carbon emission factors, the CO2lator will calculate the carbon emissions and visually represent how you are doing with carbon emissions.
How we built it
This is built with React js for the front end and Node js for the back end. The backend uses Express JS to create endpoints to connect to the front end. MongoDB was used to store account and carbon emission info.
Challenges we ran into
One major challenge was finding the carbon emission factor and figuring out a proper value for each. After some research, I was able to get a basic value for the specific co2 emission factor based on the average kmph.
What's next for CO2lator
Create better visualization of the data and improve both the UI and security.
