From the publication:
SUMMARY OF THE ADVISORY GROUP MEETING/WORKSHOP 1. INTRODUCTION Interest is increasing in analysis of the full energy chain (1) (FENCH), for example in order to define externalities of various energy systems. Such assessments could also be considered to be a fair manner of comparing climate impacts from the production and use of different energies, e.g. comparing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of fossil energies versus hydropower or nuclear energy versus renewable energies. Consideration of climate impacts, which can be attributed largely to energy production and use, is more and more underlying changes in energy policies (e.g. carbon taxation). The results of FENCH comparative assessments could play a role in energy planning, and related GHG assessments might have relevance for national energy planning according to commitments made by the more than one hundred countries that ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC).
