Greenhouse gases definition

Greenhouse gases. (GHGs) means the aggregate group of six greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride.
Greenhouse gases means those gaseous constituents of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and re-emit infrared radiation.
Greenhouse gases means carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and any other chemical or physical substance emitted into the air that the Secretary may reasonably anticipate to cause or contribute to climate change.

Examples of Greenhouse gases in a sentence

  • Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride.

  • Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, which in turn heats the surface of the Earth.

  • Greenhouse gases, which are transparent to solar radiation, are effective in absorbing infrared radiation.

  • Greenhouse gases may be defined or expressed in terms of a metric ton of CO2-equivalent, in order to allow comparison between the different effects of gases on the environment; provided, however, that the definition of the term “Greenhouse Gas”, as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, shall be deemed revised to include any update or other change to such term by the CARB or any other Governmental Authority.

  • Greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere by both natural and anthropogenic (human) activity.
