tCO₂e
Tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent
Unit that expresses the warming impact of a mix of greenhouse gases as an equivalent mass of carbon dioxide.
Also known astCO2eCO2 equivalent
tCO₂e multiplies activity data (energy, process emissions) by emission factors and global-warming potentials so methane, N₂O, and CO₂ can be summed.
AEYS energy carriers and consumption totals are the usual activity-data source for Scope 1 and 2 calculations that later appear in CSRD or CBAM-oriented disclosures.
