The time value is a useful point here. I had a post recently on carbon storage of wood products and was trying to get at the same concept. There’s very minimal benefit to carbon storing materials if you can’t account for the time value of carbon/ delayed emissions. This isn’t captured in LCA so needs to be conveyed in a qualitative manner.
