*Tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) is a standard unit of measure in which all types of greenhouse gases are expressed based on their
global warming potential relative to carbon dioxide.
** Under the Carbon Neutral Government Regulation of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Act, all emissions from the sources listed above
must be reported. As outlined in the regulation, some emissions do not require offsets.
