The standardised way of measuring and comparing one's GHG emissions is to use the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq), where other greenhouse gas effects are converted to CO2 equivalencies. In this way, different activities/processes are measured and compared through CO2 emissions.

For example, energy from natural gas emits less GHG than coal due to how it is produced. Coal produced in one country can also emit different GHG since the production process may differ.
