Greenhouse gases definition

Greenhouse gases. (GHGs) means the aggregate group of six greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride.
Greenhouse gases means those gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and re-emit infrared radiation.
Greenhouse gases means carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and any other chemical or physical substance emitted into the air that the Secretary may reasonably anticipate to cause or contribute to climate change.

Examples of Greenhouse gases in a sentence

  • ISO 14065: Greenhouse gases – requirements for greenhouse gas validation and verification bodies for use in accreditation or other forms of recognition.

  • Greenhouse gases included are the seven gases mandated by the Kyoto Protocol: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (▇▇▇), ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (▇▇▇).

  • Greenhouse gases have been found to be the most significant drivers of climate change, and among others carbon dioxide is the major contributor of greenhouse gas emissions.
