# World Energy Consumption Visualized



[Link to GitHub Pages](https://hafidaso.github.io/worldenergy.github.io/)



# Introduction



Welcome to the "World Energy Consumption Exploration" project, where we delve into the intricate relationship between a nation's energy consumption patterns and its economic prosperity. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive and interactive exploration using diverse visualizations that highlight global GDP distribution, energy consumption trends, and the impact of different energy sources on economies worldwide specific Africa.



## ****Project Objectives****



1. **Global GDP Distribution:** Analyzing and visualizing the distribution of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) across different countries globally.

2. **Energy Consumption Influence:** Investigating how the world's energy consumption patterns influence the economic growth of nations.

3. **Energy Mix Analysis:** Delving into the composition of energy sources and their contributions to the daily lives of people around the globe.

4. **Solar and Wind Power Generation in Africa:** Focusing on the utilization of solar and wind power in specific African countries - Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Egypt. Exploring their impact on economic development and sustainability.



## ****Data Source****



We leverage a robust dataset from Our World *[Our World in Data](https://ourworldindata.org/energy)* in Data, covering key metrics such as energy consumption, energy mix, electricity mix, and more. The dataset, regularly updated, forms the foundation for the visualizations presented in this project.



## ****Visualizations Overview****



### **1. World Choropleth Map**



- **Objective:** Conveys the global distribution of GDP by color-coding countries on a choropleth map.

- **Insights:** Immediate visualization of countries' economic strengths and disparities, facilitating comparative analysis of GDP distribution globally.

# ****Installation****



To explore and run the "World Energy Consumption Exploration" project locally, follow these steps:



## **Prerequisites**



- Ensure you have a modern web browser installed (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox).

- Have a text editor or an integrated development environment (IDE) for reviewing and modifying code.



## **Steps**



1. **Clone the Repository:**

    - Open your terminal or command prompt.

    - Navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository.

    - Run the following command:



        ```bash

        git clone [email protected]:Pradyothsp/world-energy-consumption.git

        ```



2. **Navigate to the Project Directory:**

    1. Change your current directory to the cloned repository:



        ```bash

        cd world-energy-consumption

        ```



3. **Host the Project:**

    - If you encounter issues with loading local files due to security restrictions, consider hosting the project using a local server.

    - You can use tools like Python's SimpleHTTPServer or Node.js's http-server for this purpose.



        For Python 3:



        ```bash

        python -m http.server

        ```



        For Node.js (install it first if you haven't):



        ```bash

        npm install -g http-server

        http-server

        ```



    - Visit **`http://localhost:8000`** (or another specified port) in your web browser.



By following these steps, you should be able to locally access and interact with the visualizations provided in the "World Energy Consumption Exploration" project. If you encounter any issues or have specific requirements, refer to the project's documentation or seek assistance in the respective community forums.



# Conclusion



The "World Energy Consumption Exploration" project leverages diverse visualizations to offer a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between energy consumption patterns and economic prosperity globally. Through interactive charts and maps, the project facilitates insightful observations and comparisons, contributing to a richer comprehension of the dynamics shaping our world.



## Future Directions



As the project continues to evolve, potential future directions could include:



- **Real-time Data Integration:** Integrating real-time data sources to provide users with the most up-to-date information on global energy consumption and economic indicators.

- **Enhanced Interactivity:** Further enhancing the interactivity of visualizations, allowing users to customize and explore data based on specific criteria.

- **Mobile Responsiveness:** Optimizing the visualizations for mobile devices to ensure accessibility across a broader range of platforms.



In essence, the "World Energy Consumption Visualized" project stands as a testament to the power of data visualization in unraveling complex global phenomena. By providing a visual narrative of the intricate relationships between energy and economics, the project contributes to the broader conversation on sustainable development and the responsible utilization of global resources.
