Carbon Emissions of Top Emitting Countries

Jessica Forsstrom and Marianna Ahlquist 2022-12-06

This project is looking at the trends and total amounts of carbon emissions from countries around the world. Source data can be found in the bp Statistical World Energy Review of 2021. hello this is a test

General info

This project aims to show the magnitude of carbon emissions comparatively between countries both over time and overall.

Methods

  • Cleaning and trimming in Excel, coverting to .csv file
  • tidyverse in R Studio used to create tidy data, pivot_longer to mutate the data
  • ggplot to plot the graphs and bar charts

Analysis

  • Finding which countries emit the most each carbon emissions each year, then looking at total emissions from 1965 to 2021 and finding the top 5 countries that emit the most carbon emissions. Lastly, looking at the trends of these top five countries over the time period.

Project Description

  • Exploring the trend of carbon emissions over time in the top carbon emitting countries
  • Modeling includes bar graphs with frequency, bar graph with emission values, and a line graph over time with ggplot
  • Challenges include accounting for the USSR and Russian Federation because their data is not complete for the studied time period
  • Potential next stpes include comparing this data to carbon emissions per capita, looking at the relationship carbon emissions have with economic growth, or developing strategies to mitigate carbon emissions particularly in large emitting countries

Instructions for use

  • Download csv files from the data folder, then download the Rmarkdown!
