Emissions & gases
GHG
Also called: greenhouse gas GHG means greenhouse gas, a gas that absorbs and re-emits heat in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is the greenhouse gas most directly associated with fuel combustion in road transport. Lifecycle GHG analysis can include emissions from fuel or electricity production, vehicle manufacturing, operation and end of life. This is why "zero tailpipe emissions" and "zero lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions" are different claims.
