What is kilogram CO2e?

Kilogram of CO2 equivalent (kg CO2e) is the standard unit for expressing carbon footprint measurements. It quantifies greenhouse gas emissions by converting them to the equivalent warming impact of carbon dioxide over a specified timeframe.

What is kilowatt hour CO2e equivalent?

Kilowatt hour CO2 equivalent is a carbon emissions unit expressing the greenhouse gases produced per kilowatt hour of energy. It is widely used by electricity providers, EV charging calculators, and corporate sustainability reporting.

Worked examples

1 kilogram CO2e = 2.5974026 kilowatt hour CO2e equivalent

1 kilowatt hour CO2e equivalent = 0.385 kilogram CO2e
