What is a Gigaton of Carbon ? In the International System of Units, the prefix “giga” means 109, or one billion (1,000,000,000). Hence terms like “gigawatt” or “gigahertz.” Thus, a gigaton is equivalent to a billion metric tons. . So a gigaton is well over a hundred million African elephants or 6 million blue whales.
