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 tonne CO2e?

Tonne of CO2 equivalent (t CO2e) is the standard large-scale unit for national and industrial carbon accounting. It is used in emissions trading schemes, sustainability reports, and international climate agreements.

Worked examples

1 megawatt hour CO2e equivalent = 0.385 tonne CO2e

1 tonne CO2e = 1,000 kilogram CO2e
