DatatypeNot PIIcategoricalDraft

This record is a draft: it has not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong. Do not rely on it for compliance decisions. Help improve it (see CONTRIBUTING.md).

Chemical notation of a greenhouse gas or gas group of the Kyoto Protocol basket, used to label emissions in national inventories and emission statistics. Annex A of the Protocol lists CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs and SF6; the Doha Amendment added NF3 for the second commitment period. The regexp accepts plain digits or Unicode subscripts (CO₂) and the singular HFC and PFC. It does not cover single HFC or PFC species or other gases.
