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.

What is megawatt hour CO2e equivalent?

Megawatt hour CO2 equivalent is a large-scale carbon emissions unit used to assess the environmental impact of power generation facilities, industrial processes, and energy-intensive operations.

Worked examples

1 kilowatt hour CO2e equivalent = 0.001 megawatt hour CO2e equivalent

1 megawatt hour CO2e equivalent = 385 kilogram CO2e
