Assessing temporary carbon storage in life cycle assessment and carbon footprint
Outcomes of an expert workshop, 7th-8th October 2010, Ispra (Italy)
Leidinio metaduomenys
Land and wood products, among others, represent temporary carbon sinks. Since the embodied carbon is retained outside the atmosphere for a period of time, some radiative forcing is postponed. Carbon removal from the atmosphere and storage in the biosphere or anthroposphere, therefore, may have the potential to help mitigate climate change. Life cycle assessment and carbon footprinting are increasingly popular tools for the environmental assessment of products that take into account their entire life cycle. A robust method is required to account for the benefits, if any, of temporary carbon storage for use in the environmental assessment of products. Despite significant efforts to develop robust methods to account for temporary carbon storage, there is still no consensus on how to consider it. This workshop brought together experts on climate change, carbon footprinting and life cycle assessment to review available options and to discuss the most appropriate method for accounting for the potential benefits of temporary carbon storage. The workshop continued the work developed under the International Reference Life Cycle Data System (ILCD), which provides methodological recommendations for use in business and policy for assessing the environmental impacts of goods and services, taking into account their full life cycle. This report is a summary of the presentations and discussions held during this workshop.
