Global Warming Potential (GWP)

A measure of the ratio of the warming caused by a substance to the warming caused by a similar mass of carbon dioxide. Values are typically expressed over a 100-year time horizon. Carbon dioxide's GWP is defined as 1.0. The larger the GWP, the more warming the gas causes. For example, methane's 100-year GWP is 28, which means that methane will cause 28 times as much warming as an equivalent mass of carbon dioxide over the same time period.
