Glad to finally launch something I've been working on for the first part of this year.

The Taiwan Clean Energy Project is an endeavour to track the contribution of low-carbon energy to Taiwan's overall energy generation mix.
https://cleanenergyproject.tw/en/ 

More about it below... <🧵>
The site serves two main purposes:
1) To collect and display data about energy production and carbon emissions in Taiwan.
2) To get people to start thinking about what they can do as individuals to live more sustainable, low-carbon lives.

Content is in both English & Chinese.

Some of the development goals I set myself while building this site include:
1) Each page must produce < 0.20g of CO2 per view ✅
2) Total CO2 emissions for the whole site < 2g ✅
3) Each page < 500kB on desktop ✅
4) Still deliver a visually attractive site (you tell me 😂)

/3
Overall the entire site comes in at 1.58g of CO2 in total (well short of the 2g target 🥳)!

For some perspective, the average CO2 produced by single web page tests using http://websitecarbon.com  is 1.76g at the time of writing.

At the bottom of each page is a small badge that shows the estimated carbon emissions for the page.

/am also saving data for each page view so that I can track the entire site's overall carbon footprint. I'll be creating a page to share this information later 🤞🏾.

/5
I still feel there's room to improve the site's efficiency and performance.

I'll be adding more content and data to the site on a regular basis. A roadmap of future content and feature plans can be found at https://www.notion.so/fershad/Clean-Energy-Project-a7d20c325f364304a42d1e0b69497aa0
