The paper argues against the claim made by Emergy Analysts that emergy is an exergy-based procedure. Both Emergy- and … consumption of physical systems: the issue at stake is whether Emergy is embodied energy or embodied exergy. Although the … compatibility of Exergy- and Emergy accounting procedures, the significance of the peculiar Emergy Algebra, and some cost …

problem of the differences between energy-based emergy and exergy-based emergy: we show that the two are proportional, having … the exergetic equivalent of solar energy as scale factor. In the second part, we show that emergy and transformity can be … written as a function of exergy alone, in particular of “partial” efficiencies of the processes involved in a production …

The paper illustrates synergies between the socio-economic and emergy evaluation of agricultural activity by studying …'s dairy sector. Results indicate that socio-economic evaluation favours larger conventional systems. Emergy analysis however … emergy indicators show that small conventional farms are the poorest performers overall. Analysis of emergy flows reveals a …
