In the year 2020, it is estimated to save Americans a total of $22 billion and have a significant reduction in emissions equivalent to removing 28 million cars from the road.

The results show total CO2 equivalent emissions of 19,381.1 metric tonnes for the baseline year of 2010.

The Directive requires that the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of biofuels consumed be at least 50 percent less than the equivalent emissions from gasoline or diesel by 2017 (and 35 percent less starting in 2011).

Most companies that produce 25,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions each year will be liable.

The EPA estimates that the recycling, composting and reusing of these materials led to a reduction in emissions equivalent to 178 million metric tons of carbon dioxide.

Mr. Dell said the trees would absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, offsetting the equivalent emissions from the production of electricity for computers over three years.

The greenhouse gas equivalencies calculator can help you understand just that, translating abstract measurements into concrete terms you can understand, such as "equivalent to avoiding the carbon dioxide emissions of 183,000 cars annually."

The surface layers of the oceans are currently believed to be the world's largest carbon sink, absorbing about 2 billion tons of carbon a year, the equivalent to perhaps a third of human carbon emissions, thus reducing their impact.

How about DECC confirm their per capita full time hours equivalent emissions and kWh both before and after their energy efficiency improvements?

We must go to the conference with strong positions and clear ideas certainly, but also with the absolute aim of sharing our efforts fairly among, first and foremost, all the industrialised countries, which must accept equivalent emissions reduction targets.
