Analyzing Industry Carbon Emissions

When factoring heat generation required for the manufacturing and transportation of products, Greenhouse gas emissions attributable to products, from food to sneakers to appliances, make up more than 75% of global emissions. -The Carbon Catalogue

Our data, which is publicly available on here, contains product carbon footprints (PCFs) for various companies. PCFs are the greenhouse gas emissions attributable to a given product, measured in CO2 (carbon dioxide equivalent).

This data is stored in a PostgreSQL database containing one table, prouduct_emissions, which looks at PCFs by product as well as the stage of production that these emissions occurred. Here's a snapshot of what product_emissions contains in each column:
