New research will calculate the future effects of greenhouse gas emissions
Sustainability researchers and scientists are conducting life cycle assessments to understand the environmental impact of new products and to begin the opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
These assessments focused largely on the effects of current greenhouse gases, with researchers Ivan Spaul, Jay Barlow and Jason Cowen presenting a new way of assessing life cycle, allowing them to assess how the impact of emissions Future greenhouse gases.
This is the first time to bridge the sustainability modeling gap. There is no model that calculates the future effects of the past, and has been recognized recently through its publication in environmental science and technology.
By calculating the time in their new LCA method, the team can assess the effects of greenhouse gas emissions over the next 30 years, with one kilogram of carbon having a greater impact in the future than today because of changes in atmospheric composition and economic considerations.
"Just as economic valuations use the time value of money, it is important that lifecycle modeling is committed to the same time law so that we can understand how emissions will affect our planet in the future," he said.
This new LCA method is likely to change the clean environment industry and sustainability concept, allowing us to predict how emissions affect our world and, as a result, develop the best technologies to address them.
