*eCO2 factors combined the CO2, CH4, and N2O emissions into a single emissions factor normalized to carbon dioxide equivalents (eCO2). Emission factors are only listed as eCO2 when the reference source only provides eCO2 factors. Otherwise, the emissions are listed in their constituent parts (e.g., CO2, CH4, N2O) and then converted to CO2-equivalents in SIMAP based on the GWP version you select on the Data Mgmt tab.
