Hi!

I have a question regarding the conversion of kg CO2 to tCO2e.

How can we convert Kg CO2 to tCO2e?

Thanks

Hi Devesh,

 

In terms of converting from kg to t: 1 kg = 0.001 metric ton, in other words, 1t = 1000 kg.

 

We don’t convert CO2 to CO2e. CO2e refers to carbon dioxide equivalent, and is used to describe greenhouse gases (GHG) in a common unit. Besides CO2 (Carbon Dioxide), other types of GHGs can be converted into CO2e using their corresponding global warming potential (GWP) values. The GWP of CO2 is 1. 

 

We hope this reply is helpful.
