(Created page with "CO<sub>2eq</sub> stands for "CO<sub>2</sub> equivalent". It's a way to measure the relative strengths of different greenhouse gases. In other words: "Emitting 1 ton of [whichever greenhouse gas] is equivalent to emitting how many tons of CO<sub>2</sub>?" See main page on greenhouse gases for tables with the CO<sub>2eq</sub> values for each gas. Also note that the use of CO<sub>2eq</sub> implies a standard ''timescale'', because some gases stay longer in the at...") |

Emitting some amount of any [[greenhouse gas]], is equivalent to emitting some amount of CO<sub>2</sub>. | |||
This is calculated based on the [[Term:GWP|GWP]]<sup>[global warming potential]</sup> of the gas involved. | |||
