The problem EcoCred solves

"EcoCred" solves the problem of industries falsifying pollution data through corruption by providing a secure, tamper-proof monitoring system using IoT and blockchain. It also addresses the lack of centralized green credit management and fragmented environmental impact assessment, ensuring transparent, secure, and efficient distribution of green credits, ultimately promoting sustainable practices in industries.

Challenges we ran into

We faced challenges in the "EcoCred" project, including the absence of an ADS module to convert analog signals from the MQ-135 sensor to digital, complicating the environmental data collection. Additionally, gathering a reliable industrial pollution dataset was difficult, impacting the accuracy of our system's assessments. Also the lack of library support in ESP8266 also makes it very hard to integrate Blockchain onto out IOT components but then we used a Raspberry which does have the library support also for ADS we used ESP8266 itself as a Analog to Digital Converter.
