Cap and Trade
Cap and Trade, also known as Emissions Trading, is a cost-effective way of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e)
Carbon dioxide equivalent is a standardised measure of greenhouse gases in terms of carbon dioxide. Non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gases can be converted into the equivalent quantity of carbon dioxide that would be required to generate the same warming effect.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a molecule composed of one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen. It is a colourless, non-toxic, inert, odourless and tasteless substance that is found as a gas in atmospheric conditions.
