Gigatonnes of carbon to gigatonnes of CO₂
Type a value in GtC to get it in GtCO₂ instantly.
1,025.948GtCO₂
Nothing on our list is smaller: the last ice age is 1.4× higher.
Convert the other way: GtCO₂ to GtC
What it means
How much CO₂ is that?
Whole-atmosphere totals: 1 ppm = 2.124 GtC = 7.78 GtCO₂. About half of each year’s emissions stays in the air; oceans and land take the rest.
The math
How to convert GtC to GtCO₂
To convert gigatonnes of carbon to gigatonnes of CO₂, multiply by 3.6641.
Example: 280 GtC × 3.6641 = 1,025.95 GtCO₂.
In the other direction, 1 GtCO₂ = 0.272918 GtC.
