carbon dioxide equivalent

Greenhouse gas concentrations are aggregated in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent.

When other greenhouse gases such as methane are included, the total level in the atmosphere, known as the carbon dioxide equivalent, is closer to 440ppm.

The campus saved $100,000 in utility costs and cut greenhouse gas emissions by 378 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent during the campaign.

It had generally been assumed that this would occur if greenhouse gas concentrations rose above 550 ppm carbon dioxide equivalent by volume.

Each treadle pump reduces greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 0.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.

This is a Kyoto Protocol unit equal to one metric tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent.

See radiative forcing, carbon dioxide equivalent.

Numerous assumptions and calculations are necessary to estimate full fuel-cycle greenhouse gas emissions in carbon dioxide equivalents.

In 2009, emissions from UK international shipping bunkers were estimated to be 10.6 million tonnes carbon dioxide equivalent.

CO is the only gas covered by the agreements, other greenhouse gas emissions are currently not controlled (see carbon dioxide equivalent).

It requires large businesses, defined as those emitting over 250,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent annually, to purchase emissions permits.

Their audit found they produce 263 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2007, half of which came from roasting their beans.

Once calculated, you can use the Defra formula to convert inputted data into kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents.

It says emissions are in "MT CO2e" which very likely refers to metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Carbon accounting refers generally to processes undertaken to "measure" amounts of carbon dioxide equivalents emitted by an entity.

There will be a price cap on emissions, that will start at AUD 40 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) describes how much global warming a greenhouse gas may cause, using carbon dioxide as the base unit.

The 100-year global warming potentials of methane and nitrous oxide are recently estimated at 25 and 298 carbon dioxide equivalents, respectively.

In 2006, Weyerhaeuser sequestered approximately 16.2 million metric tons of GHGs carbon dioxide equivalent.

Calculated as carbon dioxide equivalent (COe) using the relevant 100-year global warming potential (GWP100).

Montana's forests sequester up to 23.1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents annually-approximately 62 percent of the state's gross emissions.

Under this accord, Allegheny Energy agreed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions (as carbon dioxide equivalents) by two million tons per year by 2000.

In industry: million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (MMTCDE).

The carbon dioxide equivalent for a gas is derived by multiplying the tons of the gas by the associated GWP.

A greenhouse gas emissions forecast projected that Chicago's emissions would increase to 39.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent by 2020 under a business-as-usual scenario.
