Global Warming Potential (GWP)
A Lower GWP is the Most Widely Sought After Number On An EPD
  • GWP is a measure of how much energy the emissions of a gas will absorb over a given period, relative to the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2).
  • The larger the GWP the more that gas warms the earth compared to CO2.
New Millennium outperforms the industry average with lower GWP
