Understanding and Calculating Your Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Webinar

Join GBB’s Benjamin John, Climate Change & Energy Specialist, and grow you climate literacy as he discusses everything you need to know about greenhouse gases (GHGs) and your carbon footprint. You'll also learn how to calculate your personal greenhouse gas emissions using GBB’s carbon calculator and what your results mean!

it is too generous to offer us this information, thank you

and Global Warming Potential (GWP) is a ratio denoting the effect of a quantity of a GHG on climate change compared with an equal quantity of Carbondioxide.
GWP is usually expressed over a 100 year period. GWP values are periodically refined. Carbondioxide always has a GWP of 1.

[@anildamahe8969]

Well the clearer definition of Emission Factor is a ratio corresponding to the amount of a GHG emitted as a result of a given unity of activity.
For example
gms of Carbondioxide per kWh of electricity (gCO2 / kWh)

Hi, your video is very intersting as regard to the scientific facts that you explained.
My best wishes for success. Good continuation. TALBI Ali Morocco

Thank you sir, i am preapring for the interview and this video really helped.

[@isaacmogga681]

Thanks so much for posting this video on youtube, it has really been useful

[@katarinakulic7371]

Hi, can you please share with us the source of the formula for the GHG calculations? I have read the GHG protokol, and the formula is different for the type of fuel...thank you!

[@catarinabasto3522]

Great presentation. Thank you.

[@sujathas7953]

Is there any way to download the ppt?

[@samiraakbarova1853]

Thank you very much! Azerbaijan 🇦🇿

Very informative presentation, thanks! any insights into how the history GHG gases atmospheric concentrations were calculated? I'm referring to the slide that showed GHG concentrations in the atmosphere dating back to some 800,000 years ago. Thanks!

[@GBayBiosphere]

Historic atmospheric concentrations are estimated using ice cores. Simply put, scientists extract the air bubbles that are trapped in the ice core samples in a vacuum environment and are analyzed for their chemical compounds (i.e. CO2, methane, etc.) to build an understanding of atmospheric concentrations. These results can then be connected to the age of the ice in which the air bubbles were extracted.

I didn't realize I was ecologically unique. Can my house annual igloo classify as a special ecological feature ?

[@urfavcapricorn3058]

I am the first comment using this for a project! SO HELPFUL THANK YOU

[@NiceGuyAdmiral]

what are you using this for?

[@sylviang888]

Will the emission factors have different value for different countries?

[@gokulkrishna4011]

Yes

[@mikaylawhite8598]

does the calculator only apply to Canada?

[@GBayBiosphere]

The calculator can be used by anyone, but the results will not be accurate outside of Canada. For those in Canada, the results will be most accurate for those living in Ontario. This is because the calculator has been programmed with the emission factor for Ontario's electrical grid. Simply put, different provinces will have different emission factors, and different emissions, for an equivalent unit of electricity based on the sources used to generate electricity in that province.
