Global Warming Potential GWP

The concentration of greenhouse gases in the troposphere has become a common and well-known subject for those who work in the areas of sustainability and agriculture.

There is much debate over the potential harm these gases may have on the atmosphere and to what extent each one of them impacts global warming. To gain a clear understanding of this issue, the IPCC has developed a methodology for the comparison of greenhouse gases (GHG) known as GWP (Global Warming Potential).

There are more than 20 greenhouse gases (GHGs). Carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O) are most widely known and hold the highest global warming potential.

The IPCC has developed the GWP unit (Global Warming Potential) to better understand the impact of these gases in relation to global warming.

Greenhouse gases that interact with infrared radiation receives a "GWP" (Global Warming Potential) and as CO₂is the most highly concentrated gas in the troposphere, it received a "GWP" equal to 1.

All other gases are compared relative to CO₂, according to the intensity of the interaction of these gases with "infrared radiation" and the length of time they remain in the troposphere "mean residence time". Using CO₂as a reference of potential of "1", all other gases were ranked in equivalence of warming potential, resulting in the following "approximate values", these values may be adjusted according to each updated report of the IPCC working group.

Therefore, to ensure that we can have an overall view and do not need to look at each GHG emitted separately, the CO₂Equivalent unit was created, given that CO₂is the reference unit. Below we present the equivalent units for each gas and, as you may observe, Nitrous Oxide presents the highest GWP - Global Warming Potential.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) GWP reference = 1

Methane (CH₄) GWP = 27

Nitrous oxide (N₂O) GWP = 273

Carbon credit: What is it, how does it work, what are the benefits, and what are the regulated and voluntary markets?

The carbon credit is a financial asset that allows private and public institutions to offset their greenhouse gas emissions. The objective is to reduce global emissions in an effort to achieve climate balance.

What do carbon projects of "Nature Based Solutions" aim to achieve?

Nature Based Solutions (NBS) are initiatives designed to address environmental concerns through the use of nature as a resource to solve social and economic problems.

Are you familiar with NBS carbon credit projects? Are you aware of the benefits that a REDD+ project can provide to local communities?

Get to know the Envira Amazonia project, certified by VCS Verra. The Envira project is one of the many REDD+ carbon credit projects available through MyCarbon.

Do you know how REDD+ credits differ, or have evolved, from REDD credits?

REDD and REDD+ carbon credits are emission reduction certificates that can be sold to countries or companies that are looking to offset their own greenhouse gas emissions.

Carbon Credit: What is it, how does it work, what benefits and how are the regulated and voluntary markets?

Carbon credit is a financial asset that allows private and public institutions to offset their greenhouse gas emissions. The objective is to reduce the global emissions seeking to achieve climate balance.

Can the Carbon Credit be produced by any agricultural production system?

In summary, it is not any agricultural production system that can produce carbon credits, only projects that really reduce GHGs, clearly demonstrating the rigorous criteria can generate carbon credits that can be commercialized.

Read on to find out what should be some of the most important issues of the COP-27.

With great expectation, the COP-27 will most likely be regarded as the summit of enactment, as it aims to bring into effect the agreements that have been tailored to comply with article 6 of the Paris Agreement, which has been the basis for the effectiveness of a global carbon market.

From climate risk to climate change resilient development.

There is no doubt that climate risk and its impacts are evident. We must move swiftly towards climate-resilient development. The IPCC Policymakers report identifies the primary fronts for paving the road to a more sustainable future.

How the carbon market can benefit agribusiness.

Growth of the regulated carbon market - Great opportunities for Brazil

The carbon credit market in full expansion.

Meet MyCarbon - A new venture into the market of carbon credits

In the coming years MyCarbon hopes to foster the carbon market in Brazil and to assist companies seeking to reduce emissions in order to contribute to the goals of the Paris Agreement
