Factors for Converting Units

Table 10

Factors for Converting Units
* Emissions of greenhouse gases are sometimes reported only in terms of the mass of the non-oxygen element of the gas, i.e., only the mass of the C, N, or S is reported rather than the entire mass of the CO2, N2O, or SO2 emissions. When calculating a CO2E, the GWP must be applied to the total mass of the emissions (see Box 1).
** Nuclear and geothermal electricity are not included.
