Greenhouse Gases:

Carbon Dioxide:
-Emitted through the burning of fossil fuels, waste and wood products. Deforestation can
also add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
-100 year Global Warming Potential:
1
Methane:
Produced during the transportation and production of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural
gas. Methane is also emitted by livestock (cows, pigs) and the decay of organic waste.
-100 year Global Warming Potential:
28
Nitrous Oxide:
Emitted during agricultural and industrial activities, as well as during combustion of fossil
fuels and solid waste.
-100 year Global Warming Potential:
265
HFC Gases:
HFC gases are gases emitted as a by-product of industrial manufacturing. HFC stands
for HydroFlouroCarbon.
HFC Gases 100 year Global Warming Potential:
HFC-32: 650
HFC-41: 150
HFC-23: 11700
