Computer modelling of the effect of embodied energy on energetic effectiveness of biodiesel production

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2019
The effect of embodied energy on energetic effectiveness of biodiesel production is studied. Embodied energy, i.e. energy consumed for production of a technical device, is gradually consumed during the life time of that device.

Improving uncertainty analysis of embodied energy and embodied carbon in wind turbine design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper, a method for improving uncertainty estimates of embodied carbon and embodied energy is presented and discussed. Embodied energy and embodied carbon results are the focus of this analysis due to the fact that, at the conceptual design stage,

Towards enduring autonomous robots via embodied energy

open access: yesNature, 2022
Autonomous robots comprise actuation, energy, sensory and control systems built from materials and structures that are not necessarily designed and integrated for multifunctionality. Yet, animals and other organisms that robots strive to emulate contain highly sophisticated and interconnected systems at all organizational levels, which allow multiple ...
