GHG Emissions
GHG Emissions GHG emissions are gases released into the atmosphere that trap heat, contributing to global warming and climate change. The main types include carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and fluorinated gases. To help organizations understand and manage their emissions, they’re classified into three “scopes” based on their source and control level.

Volatile Organic Compounds
Volatile Organic Compounds Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that easily vaporize into the air at room temperature, contributing significantly to air pollution. VOCs include such compounds as methane, benzene, xylene, propane and butane. VOCs are emitted by various sources, including industrial processes, transportation, and agriculture (ruminants and cultivation). They play a major role…

Greenhouse gas
Greenhouse gas Greenhouse gases (GHG) are those gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation at specific wavelengths within the spectrum of terrestrial radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface, the atmosphere itself and by clouds. Water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) and ozone (O3)…
