Metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO2 Eq.)
Metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO 2 Eq.)
A metric measure used to compare the emissions from different greenhouse gases based upon their global warming potential (GWP) . The carbon dioxide equivalent for a gas is derived by multiplying the tons of the gas by its associated GWP. In Archibus, total emissions is expressed as MTCO 2 that is calculated by adding the metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions with the metric ton carbon dioxide equivalents for methane and nitrous oxide.
Total Emissions (MTCO 2 ) = Emissions MTCO 2 + CH 4 Emissions (MTCO 2 Eq.) + N 2 O Emissions (MTCO 2 Eq.):
