Visualising Global CO2 Emission by Countries and Sectors

Created interactive visualisations to analyse and report on global CO2 emissions by country and sector, providing actionable insights.

Overview

As part of a data visualization project at Teesside University, Petgrave.io's data analyst was tasked with creating interactive visualizations to provide insights into global CO2 emissions by country and sector. The goal was to leverage open-source data to develop impactful data stories that could inform decision-making and drive sustainability initiatives.


The Challenge

The project required the data analyst to:

  • Identify and source relevant data on global CO2 emissions

  • Clean, transform, and prepare the data for effective visualization

  • Create sharable, interactive visualizations that could convey insights on CO2 emissions by country and sector

  • Synthesize the findings into a comprehensive scientific report


Our Approach

  1. Data Collection and Preparation: The data analyst utilized open-source datasets on global CO2 emissions, processing and transforming the data using Excel to ensure it was clean, structured, and ready for visualization.

  2. Visualization Development: Using Excel's charting and data visualization capabilities, the analyst created a series of interactive visualizations, including charts, graphs, and infographics, to showcase the CO2 emission patterns by country and sector.

  3. Reporting: The data analyst documented the entire process, from data sourcing to visualization development, in a well-structured scientific report. This report highlighted the key insights derived from the data and provided recommendations for potential applications of the visualizations.


Technologies and Tools

The Petgrave.io data analyst leveraged the following technologies and tools to complete the data visualization project:

  • Data Preparation: Microsoft Excel was used for data cleaning, transformation, and the creation of connections and metrics.

  • Visualization: The analyst utilized Excel's charting and infographic capabilities to develop the interactive visualizations, including charts, graphs, and tables.

  • Reporting: The scientific report was written using standard academic writing practices and formatting.


The Results

  • Developed a comprehensive dataset of global CO2 emissions by country and sector

  • Created a suite of interactive visualizations, including charts, graphs, and infographics, to showcase the insights

  • Synthesized the findings into a well-structured scientific report, highlighting the key insights and recommendations
