Metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MTCO₂ 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 MTCO₂ 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 (MTCO₂) = Emissions MTCO₂+ CH₄ Emissions (MTCO₂ Eq.) + N₂O Emissions (MTCO₂ Eq.):
