What are GHG Emissions?
Greenhouse gases (GHG) refer to the net of seven gases that directly affect climate change. These gases are Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Methane (CH4), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), Nitrogen Trifluoride (NF3), Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6), Perfluorocarbons (PFCs), Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and Hydrofluorocarbons. The emissions are expressed in CO2 equivalents (e.g., kg CO2-eq.). GHG emissions are measured in a million tons thousand tons, tons per capita or kilograms per capita. GHG emissions are the contributors to climate change, also known as global warming. In Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), it is referred to as Global Warming Potential (GWP).
Therefore, our “GHG Emissions Reporting” service builds a full greenhouse Gases inventory for any activities and we measure the total value of GWP in CO2 equivalent units.
