Full-energy-chain greenhouse-gas emissions: a comparison between nuclear power, hydropower, solar power and wind power
Fair comparison of the climate impacts from different energy sources can be made only by accounting for the emissions of all relevant greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the full energy chain (FENCH) of the energy sources.
