As a long-lived (116 ± 9 years) greenhouse gas, nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is 265-298 times the global warming potential of CO 2 on a 100-year timescale and it is also involved in stratospheric ozone ...
This conversion is based on the ‘Global Warming Potential’ (GWP); this is the measure of warming ... The emission of 1 kg of nitrous oxide (N2O) equals 298 kg of CO2 equivalents, and the emission of 1 ...
In order to add up the impact of the various greenhouse gases, emission figures are converted to so-called CO2 equivalents. This conversion is based on the Global Warming Potential (GWP) – the extent ...
