Use of PCA to analyze Ethiopia's animal protein production, GHG emissions, emission intensity, and supply from 2010-2020, revealing increased production and efficiency by 2020 and lower emissions in 2016.
## Project Overview
This project performs a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on a dataset from Ethiopia (2010-2020) to explore relationships between animal protein production, GHG emissions, emission intensity, and supply. The analysis reveals increased production and efficiency by 2020, with 2016 as an outlier for lower emissions.
## Dataset
The dataset includes:
Total ASP Produced: Animal protein production (Mt/year)
GHG Emissions: Greenhouse gas emissions (Mt CO2e/year)
Emission Intensity: Emissions per kg of protein (kg CO2e/kg)
Total ASP Supply: Protein supply (kg/person/year)
Years: 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020
## Analysis
The analysis is conducted in a Jupyter Notebook (PCA_Analysis_Ethiopia.ipynb) with the following steps:
Data preparation and transposition
Basic statistical analysis (min, max, mean, std)
Data standardization (centered and reduced)
Correlation matrix calculation
PCA to reduce dimensionality (97.9% variance explained by first two axes)
Visualization (correlation circle, principal components plot)
Quality of representation (cos²) and year selection
## Results
Axe 1 (92.74%): Highlights increased animal protein production and supply from 2010-2012 to 2020, with reduced emission intensity, suggesting improved efficiency.
Axe 2 (5.24%): Identifies 2016 as an outlier with lower GHG emissions.
The analysis indicates potential sustainability efforts in Ethiopia's livestock industry despite increased resource pressure.
