According to the agreement with the Kyoto Protocol<\/a>, GHG (greenhouse gases) are: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perflourocarbons (PFCs) and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6). Greenhouse gas emissions are classified as direct and indirect, and are differentiated as Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions:<\/p>\n
