Descriptive Analysis of CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC Emission in G8 Countries

The generation of new data is increasing at an exponential rate due to the advancement within technology as well as an information system. The data that are collected can either be structural in nature, or they are generally unstructured in nature. It is found that different types of sensitive data, as well as information, generally remains hidden within the huge data volumes which can be used in the business organizations in order to improve the market demand. The interpretation, as well as analysis of huge velocity as well as volume, are found to be tiresome as well as challenging as it generally needs huge manpower or human resources in order to complete the calculation. However, the calculation that is performed with the help of the human resources can have errors due to which the calculations become inaccurate.  In order to resolve the problem, it is quite necessary to use computerized solution for the interpretation of data that would generally help in analyzing huge data set within very much little time and enhanced quality of interpretation. This data interpretation can be utilized in huge data set in a minimum time and further assist in enhancing the interpretation quality. The data interpretation can be utilized in different business processes for developing strategic planning quite successfully.

 In this particular project, the emission of CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC in different G8 countries are analyzed by utilizing “IBM Watson Analytics” which one of the online cloud based business intelligence tool. It is identified that over the past few decades the emission of CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC is changing due to which a number of environmental problems like acid rain, eutrophication, ozone depletion as well as issues of climatic change are occurring. Moreover, the emission of harmful gases can generally damage crops as well as trees in a variety of ways. Therefore, this project mainly reflects on evaluating the trends of CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC emission in G8 countries (France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, United States, Russia, Canada). The trend of emission in different countries will be helpful in evaluating the rate in which the emission is increasing. By focusing on the emission rate, it will be quite easy to focus on the steps that are generally required in order to reduce the emission of CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC in order to reduce the challenges that occur due to emission. It is found that IBM Watson analytics tool is mainly selected as well as used in the project for getting detailed analysis as well as visualization about the emission of CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC in different G8 countries. With the help of the analysis that is performed, the project is providing proper recommendations that are quite helpful in lowering the rate of CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC emission.

Predictive Analysis

The dataset is collected from https://data.un.org/Explorer.aspx mainly reflects on the trend of emission of  CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC in different G8 countries that mainly include France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, Russia and Canada. For this particular project, raw data about the emission has been collected that mainly includes information about the emission value of CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC. Moreover, the data set also contains information regarding the frequency, measure and year of emission.

It is found that both predictive and descriptive analysis is generally undertaken by using the IBM Watson analytics tool in order to analyze the trend of CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC in G8 countries. Both the types of analysis that are used are generally elaborated below:

Descriptive analysis is considered as brief descriptive coefficients that helps in summarizing a given set of data that can either the sample of the population or the representation of the entire. Descriptive analysis is generally undertaken for broking down into measures that include central tendency as well as measures that are associated with variability. Descriptive analysis is generally undertaken in this particular project for reflecting the trends of emission of CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC in G8 countries. The descriptive analysis of the emissions in different countries are elaborated below:

The figure that is provided above is showcasing the level of CO in G8 countries from the year 2007 to 2016. It is reflected that the maximum level of CO emission has occurred in the USA in comparison to other G8 countries. The average emission of CO in the USA in the year 2007 was around 34237.06 thousand tonne whereas the value of CO emission in Russia is around 8803.57 thousand tonne. On the other hand, the level of emission in other countries like Japan, Canada as well as France is quite low in comparison to the level of emission that occurred in the USA. From the above figure, it is analyzed that the emission of CO is highest in the USA and due to which a number of environmental problems as well as issues are generally occurring in the USA. In addition to this, it is identified that the level of CO emission is decreasing in the USA from the year 2007 and the average emission has decreased from 34237.06 thousand tonnes to 23418.33 thousand tonnes in the year 2018. Whereas in other countries like Canada, France, Russia, United Kingdom as well as Germany, the level of emission was constant and the level has not decreased. Thus, the analysis reflects that the USA, is taking important steps in reducing the emission of CO and thus the problems that are associated with CO emission is also decreasing.

Conclusion

The figure that is provided above reflects on the level of CO2 emission in G8 countries. It is analyzed that the level of CO2 emission in the USA in the year 2007 was around 2852.75 thousand tonne which is much more in comparison to the CO2 emission that had occurred in Russia, Japan, Italy as well as France. Moreover, the emission of CO2 that had occurred in the USA from the year 2007 to 2016 reflects that the rate of emission is decreasing as the time is passing which means that USA is taking necessary steps in order to minimize the level of CO2 emission. Furthermore, the emission that had occurred in USA which is around 2424 thousand tonne that is very much higher than the emission that had occurred in other G8 countries. Thus, it is analyzed that the USA still has to play an important role in minimizing the level of CO2 emission so that the problems like climatic change as well as greenhouse gases can be reduced.

The figure that is given above mainly reflects on the emission of GHG in the USA. It is found that in the year 2007, the amount of GHG that is emitted will be around 2852.75 thousand tonne which is very much higher than the emission rate of GHG in other countries of G8 like Italy, France, Germany and Russia. Moreover, it is reflected that the level of GHG in the USA is decreasing from the year 2007 to 2016. The decrease in the emission of GHG in the USA is mainly due to the steps that the Government of USA is taking in order to resolve the problems as well as a challenge. In addition to this, it is found that even after taking such steps, still, USA has the highest emission rate of GHG. Therefore, it is quite important for the government to take further important steps that will be beneficial for lowering the level of GHG for reducing environmental issues and problems.

 The figure that is provided above reflects on the emission of NOX in different G8 countries. The above line graph showcases that the rate of emission of NOX in the USA in the year 2007 will be around 8194.43 thousand tonnes whereas in Russia the amount of emission will be around 1895. 15 thousand tonnes. On the other hand, the emission of NOX in other G8 countries like Italy, Germany, United Kingdom and Russia is quite less in comparison to other countries. Moreover, it is analyzed that the rate of emission of NOX in the USA is decreasing from the year 2007 to the year 2016. The reduction in the rate of emission of NOX reflects that the USA government is taking appropriate steps for minimizing the problems like climatic change, greenhouse effect as well as air pollution. In addition to this, it is analyzed that the government still have to work hard in order to lower the emission level of NOX otherwise it will create a harmful impact on the entire environment.

 The emission of SOX in the USA in the year 2006 will be around 5299.04 thousand tonne which is quite higher in comparison to the emission rate of SOX in other G8 countries like Russia, Italy, Japan, Germany as well as the United Kingdom. However, it is found that the emission rate of SOX is the USA is decreasing from 2007, and it found that the emission rate has been lowered in comparison to the emission rate of Russia in 2016. Thus from the analysis, it is found that presently the level of SOX emission is higher in Russia which is a matter of concern and the government of Russia needs to take important steps so that the environmental issues like air pollution, acid rain, greenhouse effect as well as the problems of climatic change can get reduced.

The figure which is provided above mainly reflects on the level of VOC emission in G8 countries. The emission of VOC in the USA will be around 7364.94 thousand tonnes in the year 2006 whereas the rate of the VOC emission in Russia will be around 1743.6 thousand tonnes. In addition to this, it is found that the level of VOC emission in different G8 countries like Italy, Germany, United Kingdom as well as Germany is quite less in comparison to countries like USA and Russia. From the above analysis, it is found that the level of VOC emission is decreasing from the year 2007 to the year 2016 that states that the government of USA is playing an important role in minimizing the level of VOC emission. Moreover, still, the country has to take an appropriate step in minimizing the level of VOC so that the environmental problems like the greenhouse effect, climatic change as well as acid rain can be reduced.

Predictive analysis is considered as one of the practices that is mainly used in order to extract the information from existing datasets for determining the patterns and for predicting the future outcomes as well as trends. Moreover, it is found that predictive analysis does not help in providing information about the happening that will occur in the future however it might predict the happening that can occur in the future with a proper level of reliability including what-if analysis as well as proper risk assessment. It is found that in this project, the predictive analysis is generally undertaken in order to analyze the level of CO, CO2, SOX, VOX, GHG as well as VOC in the G8 countries.

The figure that is provided above reflects on the predictive analysis that is mainly undertaken. It is found that from the above figure it is analyzed that by focusing on the factors of “measure” and “location” it will be quite easy to determine the rate of CO, CO2, SOX, VOX, GHG as well as VOC in different G8 countries. Whereas it is found that if "subject" which includes CO, CO2, SOX, VOX, GHG as well as VOC and location is determined then the chances of identifying the value of emission is around 48%. In addition to this, if the only measure is known then the chances of determining the emission will be 40% whereas on the other hand if we determine the value of subject then the chances of determining the level of CO, CO2, SOX, VOX, GHG as well as VOC in different G8 countries will be around 18%. Thus, it is analyzed that in order to accurately measure the emission level of CO, CO2, SOX, VOX, GHG as well as VOC in G8 countries, it is quite necessary to make the analysis is context to the factor “Measure” and “Location”.

It is analyzed from both the predictive as well as descriptive analysis that the emission rate of CO, CO2, SOX, VOX, GHG in the USA is quite more in comparison to other G8 countries like Italy, United Kingdom, Germany, Russia as well as France. Due to the continuous emission of harmful gases, it is found that a number of environmental issues, as well as challenges, are occurring within the G8 countries including acid rain, greenhouse effect, climatic change as well as ozone depletion. In order to resolve the problem, it is quite important to take an important step by the government of the G8 countries so that the emission of harmful gases within the environment can be reduced. A real time detail analysis is generally conducted with the help of IBM Watson in order to identify the steps that are required to be taken by the government of G8 countries in order to minimize the level of CO, CO2, SOX, VOX, GHG and VOC emission within the environment are generally elaborated below:

 Regular monitoring of emission trend: It is quite necessary for the countries to check the level of emission of harmful gases in order to make sure that the level of emission of harmful gases. If emission level increases then the government of those countries needs to take instant action in order to resolve the challenges as well as problems that generally occurs due to the emission of harmful gases. This step is quite important for making sure that the level of harmful gas emission is not increasing.

Promoting green energy: It is found that around thirty-five per cent of all the global emission mainly come due to energy production. However, as the countries are more focusing on the development they are generally producing more energy which further causes emission of harmful gases like CO2, CO,SOX, NOX, OC and GHG. In order to resolve the issues as well as challenges, it is quite important to promote green energy in order to provide priority to the protection of nature. Each of the action should be analyzed with nature so that the energies will be produced in such a way that it will not create any type of challenges.

Restoring key ecosystems: It is the responsibility of the government to protect the ecosystem quite effectively by fighting against the climatic changes that occur due to the emission of harmful gases. Healing the natural environment is considered as one of the important step that must be taken by the government as it is considered as one of the most feasible as well as a realistic option. The government must focus on the steps that must be taken by the government in order to protect the ecosystem quite effectively. Moreover restoring of the key ecosystem will generally be helpful in reducing the impact of CO2, CO, SOX, NOX, OC and GHG on the environment.

This is to inform you that due to the innovation and development of technology, the emission of harmful gases in the environment is increasing.  Increment in the emission of CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC is creating a number of problems including acid rain, eutrophication, ozone depletion as well as issues associated with climatic change. It is found quite necessary to resolve the problem of harmful gas emission with the help of regular monitoring. Presently, it is found that the business analytics tools are generally used for obtaining greater importance in order to evaluate the hidden relations between the data volumes. In order to analyze the emission of CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC in G8 countries, IBM Watson analysis tool is used. After analyzing the data set, it is identified the USA, is the country which is emitting most harmful gases in comparison to other G8 counties. In addition to this, it is found that the emission rate of CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC has reduced from the year 2007 to the year 2018. The problem of emission of harmful gases in the G8 countries must be resolved by taking a proper important step. It is analyzed that it is quite necessary for the government to focus more on green energy and in restoring key ecosystems. Moreover, it is also important for the organization to monitor the emission of CO, CO2, NOX, SOX, GHG and VOC on a regular basis in order to make sure that the emission is under control. Apart from that, various other recommendations were also made for improving the emission of harmful gases. A Detailed report has been included with this letter.
