This conversion is based on the ‘Global Warming Potential’ (GWP); this is the measure of warming ... and the emission of 1 kg of methane (CH4) is equal to 25 kg CO2 equivalents. The GWPs of ...
For example, 1 kg of nitrous oxide (N2O) emits 298 CO2 equivalents while 1 kg of methane (CH4) emits 25 CO2 equivalents. The GWP of fluorinated gases is quite variegated and can be very high. For ...
