-analysis of the embedded energy, energy payback time (EPBT), and energy return on energy invested (EROI) metrics for the … passed our screening for EPBT/EROI and embedded energy analysis, respectively. Several parameters were harmonized to the ….0% mono-Si; 12.3% poly-Si; 6.3% a:Si; 10.9% CdTe; 11.5% CIGS). The embedded energy had a more than 10-fold variation due to …

Is what we think of as “rebound” really just income effects in disguise?

Saunders, Harry - In: Energy Policy 57 (2013) C, pp. 308-317

This paper examines the question of whether unexpectedly high energy use in the wake of energy efficiency gains can be explained as arising from increases in consumer wealth, as opposed to energy efficiency rebound effects. The analysis concludes that historical energy consumption increases were...

Energy issue perception, responses and solutions from green economics: a discussion paper

Armstrong-Haworth, Benjamin - In: International Journal of Green Economics 3 (2009) 3/4, pp. 351-366

We currently rely on fossilised energy to power society. This comes at a cost, not only in financial terms, and not only to us as human beings, but also in non-financial and non-human terms. Among the concerns of green economists are the cost of energy as opposed to its price, high levels of...
