SF6 GWP: global warming potential (AR4, AR5, AR6)
SF6 has a 100-year global warming potential (GWP) of 22,800 to 23,500 under AR4, 23,500 under AR5, and 24,300 under AR6.
A GWP is counted in kilograms of CO₂ equivalent (kg CO₂e) per kilogram of gas released.
GWP by IPCC report and horizon
One row per figure. When publishers print different figures under one report, each figure gets its own row.
