From the publication:
INTRODUCTION There is increasing interest in full-energy-chain (FENCH) analysis, in particular in order to define externalities of various energy systems. Such assessments are considered to be the only fair manner of comparing climate impacts from the production and use of different energies. Consideration of climate impacts from increased atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) levels, which can be attributed largely to energy production and use, is more and more underlying changes in energy policies (e.g. implementing measures to change the fuel mix or to improve energy efficiency). The results of such holistic comparative FENCH assessments could play an essential role in energy planning. Related GHG assessments might have relevance for climate benign national energy planning in view of commitments, made by countries ratifying the Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC), to lower or stabilize national GHG emissions.
