Embodied energy in beverage packaging

Journal of Environmental Management, 2020
Packaging used for beverages, such as soft drinks, juices, and beers, is widely consumed worldwide. The manufacture of this packaging involves energy consumption, even when made with recycled material. The sum of all energies required to produce the packaging is considered the incorporated or embodied energy.

Water-energy nexus within urban agglomeration: An assessment framework combining the multiregional input-output model, virtual water, and embodied energy

, 2021
With rapid urban expansion and economic development, water shortages and high energy emissions at the regional scale pose critical challenges for urban agglomerations, resulting in quite intricate water-energy nexus.

Energy Efficiency of Buildings: The Aspect of Embodied Energy

Energy Technology, 2016
AbstractHow much energy is actually required to build energy‐efficient buildings? It is essential nowadays not only to invest in the design of more energy‐efficient buildings but also to pay more attention to the embodied energy of such building concepts.

Derivation of energy-embodiment functions to estimate the embodied energy from the material content

Energy, 1996
The embodied energy includes the direct and indirect energy consumed for the entire production process. These values are needed to estimate impacts on energy consumption due to changes in consumption patterns. We have developed a model of the economic system to account for every production process. This model illustrates interrelations among production

Embodied energy analysis of adobe house

Renewable Energy, 2009
In this paper an attempt has been made to develop a simple methodology to calculate embodied energy of the adobe house at Solar Energy Park, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi (28°35′N, 77°12′E) and its effect on the environment. The special feature of the adobe house is that, the whole house is constructed by using low energy intensive ...

Embodied Energy and Economic Valuation

Science, 1980
Input-output analysis has been adapted to calculate the total (direct plus indirect) energy required to produce goods and services in the U.S. economy; this quantity has been termed the embodied energy. Usually, the energy required to produce labor and government services and the solar energy input to the economy are ignored by analysts.

The energy embodied in goods

Energy, 1978
Abstract This paper describes why the use of cost estimates can be source of uncertainty in net energy analysis. This occurs when costs are expressed in prices not equal to those used for price deflators. This uncertainty is reduced by estimating average prices for selected goods and services in units of 1967 dollars per ton.
