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.

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 watt hour CO2e equivalent = 0.000001 megawatt hour CO2e equivalent

1 megawatt hour CO2e equivalent = 385 kilogram CO2e
