GWPga
GWPga, or Global Warming Potential per gram, is a metric used to compare the relative impact of different greenhouse gases on global warming. It is calculated by multiplying the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of a gas by its molecular weight. The GWP of a gas is a measure of how much heat a given mass of the gas absorbs, relative to the same mass of carbon dioxide (CO2) over a specified time period, typically 100 years. The molecular weight is the average mass of a molecule of the gas.
The GWPga is useful for comparing the impact of different gases on a per-gram basis, which can
The GWPga is often used in the context of emissions trading schemes, where the goal is to
In summary, GWPga is a metric used to compare the relative impact of different greenhouse gases on
