CO2Stats

CO2Stats, located in Cambridge, MA, USA, was a business-to-business (B2B) company that operated within the Engineering, Product, and Design sub-industry. Founded as part of the Y Combinator S08 batch, CO2Stats developed tools to calculate the greenhouse gas footprint of website visits, considering factors such as the locations of visitors and servers, as well as local fuel mixes. To mitigate the environmental impact, the company purchased Green-E certified Renewable Energy Certificates monthly to offset the CO2 emissions of the websites it serviced. Additionally, CO2Stats provided a badge that allowed users to view environmental statistics and certificates, enhancing transparency and accountability. The company served regions across the United States and Canada but was acquired in December 2016 and is currently inactive.
