How to Convert Methane to CO2 Equivalent

Methane (CH4) is more potent than CO2 but breaks down faster in the atmosphere.

Global Warming Potential (GWP)

  • GWP-100: 28x more potent than CO2 over 100 years
  • GWP-20: 84x more potent over 20 years

    • Formula

    CO2e = Methane (tons) * GWP factor

    Exemple Résolu

    A facility emits 10 metric tons of methane per year.

    1. CO2e at GWP-100: 10 * 28 = 280 metric tons CO2e
    2. CO2e at GWP-20: 10 * 84 = 840 metric tons CO2e
