      abstract     = {In order to analyse long-term transformation pathways,
                      energy system models generally focus on economical and
                      technical characteristics. However, these models usually do
                      not consider sustainability aspects such as environmental
                      impacts. In contrast, life cycle assessment enables an
                      extensive estimate of those impacts. Due to these
                      complementary characteristics, the combination of energy
                      system models and life cycle assessment thus allows
                      comprehensive environmental sustainability assessments of
                      technically and economically feasible energy system
                      transformation pathways. We introduce FRITS, a FRamework for
                      the assessment of environmental Impacts of Transformation
                      Scenarios. FRITS links bottom-up energy system models with
                      life cycle impact assessment indicators and quantifies the
                      environmental impacts of transformation strategies of the
                      entire energy system (power, heat, transport) over the
                      transition period. We apply the framework to conduct an
                      environmental assessment of multi-sectoral energy scenarios
                      for Germany. Here, a ‘Target’ scenario reaching $80\%$
                      reduction of energy-related direct CO2 emissions is compared
                      with a ‘Reference’ scenario describing a less ambitious
                      transformation pathway. The results show that compared to
                      2015 and the ‘Reference’ scenario, the ‘Target’
                      scenario performs better for most life cycle impact
                      assessment indicators. However, the impacts of resource
                      consumption and land use increase for the ‘Target’
                      scenario. These impacts are mainly caused by road passenger
                      transport and biomass conversion},
