The amount of carbon dioxide by weight emitted into the atmosphere that would produce the same estimated radiative forcing as a given weight of another radiatively active gas. Carbon dioxide equival [..]

Carbon dioxide equivalent is a measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases based upon their global warming potential. For example, the global warming potential for methane over [..]

There are six main greenhouse gases which cause climate change and are limited by the Kyoto protocol. Each gas has a different global warming potential. For simplicity of reporting, the mass of each g [..]

A metric measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases based upon their global warming potential (GWP). Carbon dioxide equivalents are commonly expressed as "million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (MMTCO2Eq)." The carbon dioxide equivalent for a gas is derived by multiplying the tons of the gas by the asso [..]

 Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e). The emissions of a gas, by weight, multiplied by its "global warming potential."

CO2 (carbon dioxide) equivalent is the universal unit of measurement used to compare the emissions from various GHGs based on their global warming potential (GWP). The CO2 equivalent for a gas is dete [..]

The universal unit of measurement used to indicate the global warming potential of each of the six greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide— a naturally occurring gas that is a byproduct of burning fossil fuels and biomass, land-use changes, and other industrial processes— is the reference gas against which the other greenhouse gases are measured.

According to 10 CFR 300.2 [Title 10 – Energy; Chapter II -- Department of Energy; Subchapter B -- Climate Change; Part 300 -- Voluntary Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program: General Guidelines], the term [..]

an atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration that would have the same global radiative forcing effect as all of the human-produced greenhouse gases combined.

The common unit of measurement for Greenhouse Gases that reflects the different Global Warming Potential of different greenhouse gases.

There are 6 greenhouse gases recognised in international treaties and documents (such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). Each of these has a different Global Warming Potential. The combination of the six is expressed as carbon dioxide equivalent - the amount of CO2 that would cause the same amount of warming. [..]

A carbon dioxide equivalent is the amount (usually in metric tons) of a greenhouse gas that would have the same global warming potential of one metric ton of carbon dioxide. In technical terms, the amount of a greenhouse gas by weight emitted into the atmosphere that would produce the same estimated radiative forcing as one metric ton of carbon dio [..]

A unit that expresses the global warming potential of any greenhouse gas in terms of carbon dioxide, calculated using the mass of a given greenhouse gas multiplied by its global warming potential.

A metric measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases based upon their global warming potential (GWP). Carbon dioxide equivalents are commonly expressed as "million metric [..]

 (CDE) and Equivalent carbon dioxide (CO2e): are two related but distinct measures for describing how much global warming a given type and amount of greenhouse gas may cause, using the functionally eq [..]

A measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases based upon their global warming potential (GWP). The amount of CO2 that would have the same GWP, measured in mass units between gr [..]

A measure of greenhouse gases (e.g. carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide) with the equivalent global warming potential as carbon dioxide when measured over a specific time.

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

A metric measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases based upon their global warming potential (GWP). Carbon dioxide equivalents are commonly expressed as 'million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (MMTCDE)'. The carbon dioxide equivalent for a gas is derived by multiplying the tonnes of the gas by the as [..]

(CO2e ) – the unit used to measure the impacts of releasing (or avoiding the release of) the seven different greenhouse gases; it is obtained by multiplying the mass of the greenhouse gas by its globa [..]

The universal unit for comparing the emissions from various greenhouse gases. The carbon dioxide equivalent for a gas is derived by multiplying the mass of the gas by the associated GWP. For example, [..]
