Abstract
The causes of global warming are divided into natural causes and human-driven causes. Recent global warming has been identified as being caused by human development among human-driven causes. As the increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) is affecting global warming, research on GHG is being conducted in various industry fields. In the past, many studies have developed models focusing on GHG emission, or have focused on the relationship with the mean temperature, and have conducted research on GHG emission based on specific industry fields. In this study, K-means clusters are analyzed based on GHG generated in various industry fields, classified groups with statistically similar characteristics, and determined which industry fields affect the mean temperature change of CO2, CH4, and N2O clusters among GHG. In addition, it was shown that the results of the comparative analysis were different from the results of the data dividing the entire data and the group. As a result of the analysis, CO2, which has the highest GHG emission, should be managed first, followed by manufacturing and construction, energy, household, and agriculture-forest-fishing, which affect the mean temperature change.
