Holistic assessment of climate impacts
In the case of a wind farm, for example, the analysis includes calculations of emissions related to raw material extraction, construction, building process and transportation. We also assess the potential reduction in greenhouse gas emissions resulting from replacing fossil energy production with renewable energy.
The climate assessment takes into account current and future developments in the energy sector to assess long-term impacts and identify uncertainties. Overall, the climate assessment aims to provide a holistic picture of the net climate impact of the activity over its lifecycle and how it can contribute to climate change mitigation.
