New Elements for the Assessment of External Costs from Energy Technologies (NewExt)

NewExt is the follow-up of the European Commission’s former ExternE project which developed an accounting framework to quantify the external costs from energy conversion. Due to various uncertainties, inconsistencies and criticisms, the objective of NewExt was to improve the existing framework by providing new methodological elements in four key areas which reflect the most important new developments in the assessment of external costs.
