 Global warming potential (Base 2000 - t CO2 equivalents)
Characteristic Description
Name Global warming potential (Base 2000 - t CO2 equivalents) by Activity branch; Annual
Regularity Annual
Source Statistics Portugal, Environment satellite account
First available period 1995
Last available period 2007
Dimensions
  • Data reference period
  • Geographic localization (Portugal)
  • Activity branch
Concepts
  • GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIAL (GWP):  Measure the effect, in the radiation property of the atmosphere, of 1 tonne of CO2-equivelent gas. Since green house gases have different life spans, it`s necessary to define a time horizon to calculate GWP.
  • ECONOMIC ACTIVITY:  Combination of resources such as labour, raw materials, equipment, etc., are joined, leading to the creation of specific goods or services. Regardless of the factors of production integrating the good or service produced, all activities generically imply an input of products (goods or services), a production process and an output of products (goods or services).
  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  Period to which the information refers and which may be a specific day or a time interval (month, fiscal year, calendar year, among others).
Formule Emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil origin (Base 2000 - t) + (Emissions of nitrous oxide (Base 2000 - t) x 310) + (Emissions of methane (Base 2000 - t) x 21)
Measure unit (symbol) Tonne equivalents to carbon dioxide (t CO₂eq)
Power of 10  0
