Global Warming Potential (GWD)
A measure of the warming potential of different greenhouse gasses compared to carbon dioxide over a specified period of time, usually 100 years. More specifically it is a measure of how much energy the emissions of 1 ton of a gas will absorb over time- relative to the emissions of 1 ton of carbon dioxide (CO2).
