More caution is needed when using life cycle assessment to determine energy return on investment (EROI)
Arvesen, Anders; Hertwich, Edgar G. - In: Energy Policy 76 (2015) C, pp. 1-6
Cumulative energy demand (CED) estimates from life cycle assessments (LCAs) are increasingly used to determine energy return on investment (EROI), but the difference in indicators can lead to a misclassification of energy flows in the assessment. The core idea of EROI is to measure the relation...
