Greenhouse Gases

For CO₂ conversion, the fixed value is the 2007 receiving end coefficient of the Japan Auto Parts Industries Association (JAPIA). Calculations of HFCs, SF6 and CO₂ employ global warming figures prescribed by the Law Concerning the Promotion of Measures to Cope with Global Warming enforcement regulations.
