Track Freight Shipment CO2 Emissions with AI and Carbon Interface
detail.loadingPreview
Automate the extraction of freight shipment details from emails and calculate their CO2 emissions using AI and the Carbon Interface API. This workflow streamlines sustainability tracking for your logistics operations.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow revolutionizes how businesses monitor their environmental impact from freight shipments. By automatically processing shipment confirmation emails, it extracts critical logistical data using the power of GPT-4o. This structured information is then fed into the Carbon Interface API to accurately calculate the CO2 emissions for each truck shipment. The results, including CO2 kilograms and estimation timestamps, are neatly logged into Google Sheets for easy analysis and reporting. Enhance your sustainability efforts and gain valuable insights into your carbon footprint with this intelligent automation solution.
