Emission Factors for Greenhouse Gas Inventories
Last Modified: 7 November 2011
Typically, greenhouse gas emissions are reported in units of carbon dioxide equivalent (C02e). Gases are converted to C02e by multiplying by the gas' global warming potential (GWP). The emission factors
listed in this sheet ha\« not been converted to C02e. In order to do so, multiply the emissions by the corresponding GWP listed in the table below.
