Convert PFC-14 (CF4) to CO₂e
1 kg=7380kg CO₂e (AR6, 100-year)
CO₂ equivalent
1 kg × 7380 = 7380 kg CO₂e (GWP-100, IPCC AR6)
Global warming potential of PFC-14
| Assessment report | GWP, 100-year | Source page |
|---|---|---|
| IPCC AR6 | 7380 | 3 |
| IPCC AR5 | 6630 | 3 |
| IPCC AR4 | 7390 | 3 |
To convert a mass of PFC-14 to CO₂ equivalent, multiply it by its global warming potential (GWP). For example, 10 kg × 7380 = 73,800 kg CO₂e using the AR6 value.
The GHG Protocol's table states that "the use of the latest values (AR6) is recommended", and notes that AR4 and AR5 values are sometimes used for inventory and reporting purposes. Use the set your reporting framework asks for and keep it the same across years.
