CO2 equivalent definition

CO2 equivalent means the metric measure used to compute the emissions from CO2, CH4 and N2Oon the basis of their global-warming potential, by converting amounts of CH4 and N2O to the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide with the same global warming potential;

CO2 equivalent means the quantity of a given greenhouse gas multiplied by its global warming potential (GWP).

CO2 equivalent means a metric measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases based upon their global warming potential (GWP).

Examples of CO2 equivalent in a sentence
