Refrigerant CO2-equivalent calculator

Refrigerant emitted is multiplied by the stated GWP and assessment basis, not by its purchase cost.

Units

M_{\text{CO2e}} = m_{\text{ref}} \times \mathrm{GWP}

Calculator

Enter the values you know and leave one box empty. Calculate finds the empty one, the result or any input.

Given

M_{\text{CO2e}} = 14 \times 1500 = 21{,}000
