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

MATEC 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.

Why Are Prices Proportional to Embodied Energies? [PDF]

BioPhysical Economics and Resource Quality, 2019
The observed proportionality between nominal prices and average embodied energies cannot be interpreted with conventional economic theory. A model is presented that places energy transfers as the focal point of scarcity based on the idea that (1) goods are material rearrangements, and (2) humans can only rearrange matter with energy transfers.
