Journal ArticleDOI
Key issues and options in accounting for carbon sequestration and temporary storage in life cycle assessment and carbon footprinting
Miguel Brandão,Annie Levasseur,Miko U. F. Kirschbaum,Bo Pedersen Weidema,Annette Cowie,Susanne Vedel Jørgensen,Michael Zwicky Hauschild,David Pennington,Kirana Chomkhamsri +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have developed robust methods to account for the benefits, if any, of sequestration and temporary storage and release of biogenic carbon, but there is still no overall consensus on the most appropriate ways of considering and quantifying it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing life cycle impact assessment from climate science: Review of recent findings and recommendations for application to LCA
Annie Levasseur,Otávio Cavalett,Jan S. Fuglestvedt,Thomas Gasser,Thomas Gasser,Daniel J.A. Johansson,Susanne Vedel Jørgensen,Marco Raugei,Andy Reisinger,Greg Schivley,Anders Hammer Strømman,Katsumasa Tanaka,Francesco Cherubini +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review of available midpoint metrics (i.e., using an indicator situated in the middle of the cause-effect chain from emissions to climate change) for well-mixed greenhouse gases and near-term climate forcers based on the current literature is performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bridging the gap between impact assessment methods and climate science
Francesco Cherubini,Jan S. Fuglestvedt,Thomas Gasser,Thomas Gasser,Andy Reisinger,Otávio Cavalett,Mark A. J. Huijbregts,Mark A. J. Huijbregts,Daniel J.A. Johansson,Susanne Vedel Jørgensen,Marco Raugei,Greg Schivley,Anders Hammer Strømman,Katsumasa Tanaka,Annie Levasseur +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue for an active consideration of these aspects to bridge the gap between climate impact methods used in environmental impact analysis and climate science, and argue that failure to acknowledge the complexity of climate change drivers and the spatial and temporal heterogeneities of their climate system responses can lead to the deployment of suboptimal and potentially even counterproductive, mitigation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of urgent impacts of greenhouse gas emissions—the climate tipping potential (CTP)
Susanne Vedel Jørgensen,Susanne Vedel Jørgensen,Michael Zwicky Hauschild,Per Henning Nielsen +3 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the climate tipping impact category, which represents the Climate tipping potential (CTP) of GHG emissions relative to a climatic target level, which is defined as the emission's impact divided by the capacity of the atmosphere for absorbing the impact without exceeding the target level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Need for relevant timescales when crediting temporary carbon storage
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the consequences of using such approaches that disregard the long timescale on which complete removal of atmospheric CO2 occurs, and make an assessment on what are relevant timescales to consider when including the value of temporary carbon storage in carbon footprinting, and illustrate how the use of the 100-year accounting period can cause long-term global warming impacts to be hidden by short-term storage solutions that may not offer real longterm climate change mitigation.
