  • Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e) is a term used in climate science to explain the global warming potential of the various greenhouse gases (GHGs) by comparing each gas to the most prevalent GHG, carbon dioxide (CO2). The basis for this concept is found in the comparative radiative forcing of the various gases. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Warming & Climate Change; Carbon Dioxide Equivalent]
