Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2-e)
|
Some greenhouse gases contribute more to global warming than carbon dioxide itself, such as Methane and Nitrous Oxide (which have 21 and 310 times more global warming power than Carbon Dioxide, respectively). CO2-e expresses greenhouse gas emissions in terms of their potential to contribute to global warming compared with that of Carbon Dioxide.
