Abstract: Many technical options and policy options are available to decision-makers in the energy field. Each of these options will have specific and distinct effects on the efficiency, cost, and environmental attributes of the energy system that must be analyzed and understood through policy analyses performed in support of decision-making in industry and government. The comprehensive analyses that must be performed on a technical or policy option include engineering process studies; economic analysis; and the analysis of the transport, conversion, and health impacts of pollutants. Many analytical techniques are employed in this comprehensive analysis. The results, however, must be integrated in a complete but straightforward representation and expressed in the context of the overall system.
