“MT per unit carbon emission reduction” refers to the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reduced per metric ton (MT) of a specific unit, activity, or process. This metric is commonly used to measure the efficiency of carbon emission reduction initiatives, such as energy efficiency projects, renewable energy adoption, or other sustainability measures.

The formula to calculate this metric is: MT per unit carbon emission reduction = Total carbon emissions reduced (in MT) / Total units of the specific activity or process For example, let’s say a company installs energy-efficient lighting in its facilities, leading to a reduction of 100 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year. If the company has a total of 10,000 hours of lighting operation per year, the MT per unit carbon emission reduction would be:

MT per unit carbon emission reduction = 100 MT / 10,000 hours = 0.01 MT/hour

This metric provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of carbon reduction efforts, helping organizations compare different projects and make informed decisions about resource allocation for sustainability initiatives. It’s commonly used in environmental reporting and sustainability assessments.
