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.

What is gram CO2e?

Gram of CO2 equivalent (g CO2e) is a small-scale carbon emissions unit. It is used to express the carbon footprint of individual products, food items, and short journeys where emissions are minimal.

Worked examples

1 megawatt hour CO2e equivalent = 385,000 gram CO2e

1 gram CO2e = 0.001 kilogram CO2e
