SLU does not count any of this in the figure for one kilogram.

Gases

Basis: Net totalFossilBio CH₄Land useBio CO₂full carbon balance

  • Fossil CO₂0.85992%
  • Methane (CH₄)0.06186.6%
  • Nitrous oxide (N₂O)0.01341.4%

Σ 0.859 + 0.0618 + 0.0134 = 0.935.

Also printed, as zero: biogenic methane (CH₄) and land-use CO₂.

Each gas is converted to CO₂e with AR6 100-year warming potentials; biogenic and land-use carbon are counted.
