What Does GHG Stand For?

GHG stands for Greenhouse Gases

GHG, or Greenhouse Gases, refers to atmospheric gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect by trapping heat within the Earth’s atmosphere. The primary greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases. These gases are crucial in regulating the planet's temperature, but increased concentrations due to human activities, such as fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, are leading to global warming and climate change. Reducing GHG emissions is essential for mitigating environmental impacts and promoting sustainable development.
