Time Value of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Life Cycle Assessment and Techno-Economic Analysis

The work in this paper seeks to address the shortcomings of current dynamic Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) by developing new methods to compare the monetized impact of greenhouse gas emissions in the future with monetized impacts of emissions in the present. The novelty of this work has two major components. First, the methods account for changing atmospheric carbon concentrations and nonlinear monetized impacts to society. Second, they include the dynamic monetized impacts of greenhouse gas emissions occurring in different years.
