Emission Gas Type
| List Options | Option Definition | Unit of Measure | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CH4 | Methane | None | |
| CO2 | Carbon dioxide, or CO2, is a natural, colorless and odorless greenhouse gas that is emitted when fossil fuels (i.e. natural gas, oil, coal etc.) are burnt. | None | |
| CO2e | Carbon dioxide equivalent” or “CO2e” is a term for describing different greenhouse gases in a common unit. For any quantity and type of greenhouse gas, CO2e signifies the amount of CO2 which would have the equivalent global warming impact. CO2 has a GWP of 1, methane has a GWP of approximately 28 (on a 100 year time horizon). In other words, for every 1 tonne of methane (CH4) emitted, an equivalent of 25 tonnes of CO2 would be emitted. | None | |
| GHG | General greenhouse gas emissions | None | |
| N2O | Nitrous oxide | None | |
| None | None | None | |
| Not applicable | Not applicable | None | |
| NOx | Nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) are together referred to as nitrogen oxides (NOx) | None | |
| Other | Other | None | |
| Smoke | Smoke from residential wood heaters containing particle pollution, also known as fine particulate matter or PM2.5, along with other pollutants including carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), black carbon, and air toxics such as benzene. | None | |
| SO2 | Sulfer dioxide | None | |
| Unknown | Unknown | None |
