Global warming potential (gwp) is a measure of how destructive a pollutant is to our climate and environment.
GWP potential is based on the extent to which the pollutant contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Greenhouse gasses such as methane and nitrous oxide have the highest global warming potentials, meaning they have a greater impact on global warming when they are released.
