The value of energy carriers

W. van Gool

Energy, 1987, vol. 12, issue 6, 509-518

Abstract: The value of energy carriers can be described thermodynamically by the amount of heat (enthalpy method) or work (exergy or availability method) that can be obtained from the carriers. Prices for energy carriers are used in economics to express their values. The prices for energy carriers are often related to their enthalpies when other properties and conditions are equivalent. However, it has been suggested that the exergy of the energy carriers is the proper quantity to establish their values, i.e. prices should be based on these exergies.
