This dataset provides essential information for modeling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in diesel-dependent communities transitioning to bioenergy. The goal is to evaluate the environmental impacts, including emission reductions and carbon sequestration, through data-driven analysis.

-
Environmental Analysis:
- Evaluate greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions achieved by transitioning from diesel to bioenergy.
-
Scenario Modeling:
- Examine GHG emissions under different timeframes and adoption scenarios (e.g., short-term vs. long-term impacts).
-
Patterns and Trends:
- Identify temporal patterns in biomass growth, decomposition, and overall emissions.
-
Hypothesis Testing:
- Compare emissions between diesel and bioenergy usage to validate hypotheses about their environmental impacts.
-
Load the Dataset:
Import the dataset into your Python or Jupyter Notebook for analysis:import pandas as pd data = pd.read_csv('Bioenergy_Modelling_Dataset.csv')
-
Data Overview:
- Check the size, structure, and column types.
- Display the first few rows using:
data.head()
-
Perform EDA Steps:
- Handle missing values, detect outliers, and analyze data distributions.
- Visualize relationships between variables (e.g.,
fuel_type
vs.ghg_emissions
).
-
Visualize Key Insights:
- Use charts like histograms, scatter plots, and heat maps to highlight trends.
