Greenhouse Gas Conversion Table
This section provides the GHG Conversion Factors for calculating GHG emissions from fuel . GHG emissions are calculated in tonnes (t) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e),which comprises three GHG gases, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), weighted by their equivalency factors for CO2.
