Summary - L.1028 (11/2024) - Evaluating the global-warming-potential impact of extending the operating lifetime of information and communication technology equipment

Recommendation ITU-T L.1028 defines the ratio UER10 as an indicator for impact of information and communication technology equipment operatinglifetime extension on the resulting global-warming potential (GWP). UER10 can help the practitioner to estimate the relative significance of use-stage greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions versus embodied emissions of a product over its lifetime.
