Figure 4. Delay factors for GWP as a function of the Time Horizon of the Impact (THI) and for a single emission t i = LCD=100 years. GHG:
Greenhouse gases; LCD: life cycle duration; GWP: global warming potential.
Figure 5. Delay factors for GWP of CO 2 as a function of the time of emission for a Time Horizon of the Impact (THI = 100 years) and for
various Life Cycle Durations (LCD). GWP: Global warming potential
As with the GWP, from combination of Equations 2, 6, 17 and 23, the delay factor for the GTP can be
expressed analytically for each GHG j, for each moment of emission t and any integration time T. The
i
detailed mathematical demonstration is available in Supplementary Part 3.2.
