Examples of similar grammar:

GHG emissions/removals can be expressed either in physical units (such as grams, tonnes, etc.) or in terms of CO2 equivalent (grams CO2 equivalent, tonnes CO2 equivalent, etc.). The conversion factor from physical units to CO2 equivalent is the GWP of the corresponding GHG. If X Gg of CH4 is to be expressed in terms of CO2 equivalent, then it is multiplied by 21, which is GWP of CH4 over 100 years timescale.

Explanation:
Produkcja wódki wciąż spada

W 2014 roku cały czas notowany jest spadek produkcji wódki. Jak podał Główny Urząd Statystyczny, w sierpniu tego roku, w porównaniu z sierpniem roku 2013, produkcja wódki czystej w przeliczeniu na 100% alkohol spadła o 10 procent i osiągnęła wartość 7,67 mln litrów. W lipcu, w ujęciu rocznym, spadek produkcji wyniósł 2,5%, w czerwcu 9,8%, w maju zaś 19%. W ciągu ośmiu miesięcy tego roku produkcja wódki w Polsce wyniosła 50,7 mln litrów, czyli o 18,1% mniej niż w analogicznym okresie w roku 2013. Pozytywną informacją GUS-u jest to, że w ujęciu miesięcznym w sierpniu tego roku produkcja wódki wzrosła o 2,7% w porównaniu z lipcem. - http://www.rynki.pl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&i...
