As a founder, I really needed a simple place to centralize all those business metrics. Couldn’t find anything that suited my needs (everything was way overkill) and so I ended up building Polynomial.

Right now it’s transporting ~20MW from Denmark to the UK

As founder, I lacked a central place to gather all my KPIs. It works by integrating to other data sources you already use (Google Analytics, Plausible, LinkedIn, Google Sheets..)

It’s open source, feel free to give it a try!

I had the same thoughts, which led me to build Electricity Maps (https://app.electricitymaps.com) a few years back, mainly to understand the current state of how electricity grids cause CO2 emissions. Luckily (and with a lot of hard work) it turned into a successful company. I also worked on some other climate tech products which weren’t as fortunate. I’ve written about past experiences here: https://oliviercorradi.com/blog/lessons-learned-climate-tech...

Hopefully this can help you a bit on your journey.

We’re also hiring (although jobs are based in Copenhagen). Furthermore, a lot of our work is open source (https://github.com/electricitymap/electricitymap-contrib) - feel free to take a peek!

In any case, do not hesitate to get in touch if you think I can help

Also, feel free to join our Slack at https://slack.tmrow.com to ask your questions!

We're seeking to build scalable digital solutions to climate change. Our mission is to organise the world's carbon information, and make it universally accessible. Therefore, we're now working on an app that automatically calculates your personal carbon footprint, and gives you the means to act on it.

A lot of our work is open source: see https://github.com/tmrowco

I also wrote a pragmatic guide to climate change here: https://www.tmrow.com/climatechange

Hope this can guide or even inspire some other folks out there.

I believe understanding the footprint of anything should be a commodity, and easily accessible to anyone. That's why we're currently building an app that automatically computes your carbon footprint, and gives you the means to change for the better. I previously built electricitymap.org, and we're now hiring if you're interested: https://www.tmrow.com/jobs Feel free to reach out directly if you want to chat (or join our Slack at slack.tmrow.com). This is the most pressing issue of our time and we simply don't have enough people working or caring about it.

Author of the electricityMap here. The point of the app is to display how much CO2 is emitted when you consume from your power plug (hence the consumption point of view, and hence why we emphasise intensity and not volume). We're trying to give people an idea of when it is the best time to consume electricity, and what strategies are best to decarbonise rapidly.

Total volumes are also interesting (the climate cares about total volumes), but if you want to look at strategies you have to look at per kWh values (coal in a small volume is still a bad strategy).

EDIT: It's actually by minute.
