Greenhouse gas auto standards
Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-012579
A greenhouse gas auto standard establishes fleet average GHG emission requirements for vehicles, such as passenger cars and light trucks. Expressed in carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalents, the standard can take into account GHG emissions directly emitted (e.g., operation of vehicle, leakage of refrigerants from AC unit) and upstream emissions associated with the production of the fuel used by the vehicle.
