GWPvel
GWPvel is a term that refers to the Global Warming Potential over a 20-year timeframe. It is a measure of how much heat a greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere over two decades, relative to carbon dioxide. This metric is used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other scientific bodies to assess the short-term impact of different greenhouse gases.
The GWPvel of a gas is calculated by comparing its heat-trapping ability to that of carbon dioxide
While GWPvel focuses on the immediate warming effect, it's important to note that greenhouse gases also have
