Estimation of Carbon Footprints in Coal Mines

The “Web Application for the Estimation of Carbon Footprints by Coal Mines of India” project aims to create a digital platform to calculate, monitor, and manage the carbon emissions associated with coal mining operations in India. The web-based solution addresses the urgent need for sustainable mining practices and compliance with environmental regulations by providing a tool for estimating carbon footprints based on various factors such as coal production, energy usage, and fuel consumption. The application features a user-friendly interface built with modern web technologies, offering data visualization, reporting, and monitoring capabilities. It allows stakeholders, including mining companies, regulatory bodies, and researchers, to assess carbon emissions, track trends over time, and generate reports for regulatory compliance. The system is designed with a modular architecture, leveraging React.js for the frontend, Node.js for the backend, and MongoDB for data storage. Challenges such as data availability and emission factor standardization were addressed to ensure the accuracy and usability of the platform. The project promotes data-driven decision-making and encourages the adoption of sustainable practices within the mining sector.
