Time Value of Carbon: Concepts and Applications


INHALT


Climate mitigation decisions depend not only on the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, but also on when emissions occur. The concept of the Time Value of Carbon (TVoC) addresses this temporal dimension by valuing emissions differently over time. Understanding and applying TVoC can improve the consistency of climate-related decision-making in economics, policy, and life cycle assessment.

AUFGABENSTELLUNG

  • Structured literature review on the concept of Time Value of Carbon and related approaches (e.g. dynamic LCA, discounting of emissions, climate damage functions)
  • Review of economic time-valuation methods, in particular Net Present Value (NPV) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC), and their conceptual parallels to TVoC
  • Conceptual comparison of static versus time-differentiated carbon valuation approaches
  • Formal description of the TVoC methodology and underlying assumptions
  • Illustration of the method using a simplified application example (e.g. product system, investment decision, or emission reduction measure)
  • Critical discussion of limitations, uncertainties, and implications for climate policy and sustainability assessment
