Extract

There is a need today for accurate understanding of the relationships between economic activities and the environmental realm. In particular, it is urgent from an economic viewpoint to put quantitative meanings upon external, environmental contributions to the economy. Energy analysis and energy externality evaluation procedures are useful in this respect.
