INTRODUCTION

Energy planning for the next century should be based on a fair and objective 
comparison between the different energy options, in particular taking account 
of the greenhouse gas emissions inherent to the supply of energy. This requires 
a holistic approach which accounts for the emissions of all greenhouse gases from 
the whole energy chain. For example, the nuclear energy chain has emissions of 
greenhouse gases inherently associated with the various uses of materials and 
energy, such as CO2 emissions from manufacturing of cement and steel used in 
buildings and installations, CO2 emissions from construction of power plants and 
fuel cycle facilities, and CO2 emissions from operation of fuel cycle facilities 
such as uranium enrichment plants. The same applies to the chains of the other 
energy sources such as the renewable energy chains.
