There are four essential pillars of a sustainable highway engineering design:

CO2e, as defined by Eurostat, is a metric measure used to compare emissions from various GHG based on their GWP (Global Warming Potential) by converting amounts of other gases to the equivalent amount of CO2.

For example, CO2 has a GWP of 1, while Nitrous Oxide is 298 (data obtained from the Kyoto Gases statistics). Therefore, if 1 kg of Nitrous Oxide is emitted, it can be expressed as 298 of CO2e.
