Mt CO2e means a metric tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Examples of Mt CO2e in a sentence

  • In the ENGO (15% leakage) scenario, these averages fall to 6.81 (5.96-7.56) Mt CO2-e yr-1 and 7.21 (6.76-7.82) Mt CO2-e yr-1 for 2013-2020 and 2021-2030 respectively.

  • On the assumption that this occurs, and that Australia accounts for FM in the post-2012 era, it is estimated that the project could generate: • 1.90 (1.66-2.12) Mt CO2-e yr-1 of Kyoto ACCUs over the period 2013-2020; and • 2.01 (1.88-2.19) Mt CO2-e yr-1 of Kyoto ACCUs over the period 2021-2030.

  • The most relevant aspects of the new rules are: o FM accounting will be compulsory in the second commitment period; o FM accounting will be based on FM reference levels, where FM credits and debits will be determined on the basis of the extent to which actual net FM emissions deviate from a pre-set reference level; and o FM and joint implementation FM credits will be subject to a cap equal to 3.5% of base year (1990) emissions (excluding LULUCF), or 14.6 Mt CO2-e yr-1 over the second commitment period.

  • Under the ENGO (no leakage) scenario, the mean over the period 2013-2020 is 8.01 Mt CO2-e yr-1, rising to 8.48 Mt CO2-e yr-1 for the period 2021-2030.

  • In the Strong Growth, Low Pollution report, the Australian Treasury estimated that Australia’s cumulative abatement task with a 5% emission reduction target for 2020 over the period 2013-2020 was 737 Mt CO2-e (Australian Treasury, 2011).26 The results here suggest that the FM credits under the ENGO scenario would equate to between 7.4% and 8.7% of this task (Table 4).

  • Under the ENGO (15% leakage) scenario, the impacts of the leakage to other FM areas reduces these averages to 6.81 Mt CO2-e yr-1 and 7.21 Mt CO2-e yr-1 for 2013-2020 and 2021-2030 respectively.

  • Figure 4 Carbon stock change (live biomass, debris, harvested wood product pools) in reference and ENGO scenarios, Mt CO2-e yr-1, 2013-2030 Table 3 Net emissions and FM credit outcomes under the reference, ENGO (no leakage) and ENGO (15% leakage) scenarios, Mt CO2-e yr-1, 2013-2030 The results suggest the FM credits associated with the creation of the reserves are likely to be significant.

  • National greenhouse gas emissions were 461 Mt CO2e in 2000, and under the INDC, will be in the range 398 - 614 Mt of CO2e during the period 2025 – 2030.

  • On the basis this occurs, it was estimated here that: o under the CFI-ENGO (no leakage) scenario, the project could generate 2.24 (1.95-2.49) Mt CO2-e yr-1 of Kyoto ACCUs over the period 2013- 2020, and 2.37 (2.21-2.57) Mt CO2-e yr-1 of Kyoto ACCUs over the period 2021-2030; and o under the CFI-ENGO (15% leakage) scenario, the project could generate 1.90 (1.66-2.12) Mt CO2-e yr-1 of Kyoto ACCUs over the period 2013-2020, and 2.01 (1.88-2.19) Mt CO2-e yr-1 of Kyoto ACCUs over the period 2021-2030.
