Nigeria Carbon Emissions Dataset

Author: Hussein Adeiza (mabera) Role: Licensed Environmental Health Officer, Abuja Nigeria Built for: AutoScientist Challenge 2026, Part 2 — Market Analysis & News Category

Dataset Description

A market analysis dataset on Nigeria's carbon emissions and economic trajectory, built entirely from real, directly-downloaded data from Our World in Data's CO2 dataset (owid/co2-data on GitHub), not hand-typed statistics.

This model achieved an 87% win rate and 79% General Win Rate, the second-strongest result in this author's AutoScientist portfolio. https://huggingface.co/mabera/nigeria-carbon-emissions-interpreter

Key Cited Findings

—Nigeria's total CO2 emissions rose 40.3% since 2000, while per-capita emissions fell 23.8%, population growth outpacing emissions growth
—South Africa's per-capita emissions are 11.7x Nigeria's, driven by coal
—Nigeria's carbon intensity of GDP is lower than South Africa's and the World average, despite Nigeria's oil-producing status
—Nigeria is a net importer of embodied carbon; South Africa is a net exporter
