What’s the difference between Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Reduction?
The concept of Carbon Neutral refers to the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Earth’s atmosphere, but may be extended to include other Greenhouse Gases (GhGs), measured in terms of their Carbon Dioxide Equivalence (CO2e). For instance, methane and other gases also play a role in atmospheric warming. Older refrigerators and air conditioners use chlorofluorcarbons (CFCs), which are often more potent greenhouse gases than CO2. Scientists have defined multipliers for gases that compare their potency (global warming potential).
