🚚 CO2 Emissions Tracking for Freight Shipments with GPT-4o & Carbon API

This n8n workflow automates the tracking of CO2 emissions for freight shipments, starting with a Gmail trigger that captures shipment confirmation emails. An AI Agent powered by GPT-4o intelligently parses the email content to extract key details such as pickup and delivery addresses, cargo weight, distance, and delivery time. It then integrates with the Carbon Interface API to accurately estimate CO2 emissions based on these parameters, providing precise environmental impact data.

The results are seamlessly stored in a Google Sheet, enabling easy reporting, analysis, and integration with other business tools. This setup is ideal for logistics coordinators, transportation planners, and sustainability officers managing B2B shipments, helping reduce manual data entry and ensure consistent emissions tracking.

Benefits include time savings on carbon footprint calculations, enhanced compliance with sustainability goals, and actionable insights for greener supply chain decisions. Use cases span last-mile delivery, regional freight, and full logistics operations, supporting initiatives like LogiGreen Consulting's green logistics efforts.
