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 watt hour CO2e equivalent?

Watt hour CO2 equivalent is a carbon emissions unit expressing the greenhouse gas equivalent of producing one watt hour of electricity. It is used in energy labelling, lifecycle assessments, and grid carbon intensity calculations.

Worked examples

1 megawatt hour CO2e equivalent = 1,000,000 watt hour CO2e equivalent

1 watt hour CO2e equivalent = 0.000385 kilogram CO2e
