CO2 equivalence
CO2 equivalence (CO2e) is a way of indicating the global warming potential of a particular greenhouse gas by expressing it in comparison to that of carbon dioxide. One unit of a gas with a CO2e rating of 21, for example, would have the warming effect of 21 units of carbon dioxide emissions (taken over 100 years).
