produces
A carbon dioxide equivalent or CO2 equivalent, abbreviated as CO2-eq is a metric measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases on the basis of their global-warming potential (GWP), by converting amounts of other gases to the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide with the same global warming potential.
How Do We Get the Data Right?
This question has taken up all of our time for the past 4 years. The BONSAI Climate Footprint Analyser has been developed through a large project at Aalborg University, funded by the KR Foundation in 2021. 2-0 LCA, Leiden University, and CICERO are partnering the project, which ends in 2025.
