CO2e (CO2 equivalent)

CO2e (CO2 équivalent)

CO2 equivalent (CO2e) is a unit of measurement that compares the warming potential of different greenhouse gases. CO2 serves as the reference (GWP = 1). For example, 1 kg of methane equals approximately 28 kg CO2e over 100 years. This standardized unit facilitates carbon footprint assessments.
