The energy embodied in goods

David B. Reister

Energy, 1978, vol. 3, issue 4, 499-505

Abstract: This paper describes why the use of cost estimates can be source of uncertainty in net energy analysis. This occurs when costs are expressed in prices not equal to those used for price deflators. This uncertainty is reduced by estimating average prices for selected goods and services in units of 1967 dollars per ton. When the average prices are multiplied by energy-intensity coefficients, which have units of Btu per 1967 dollar, the result is energy-intensity coefficients which have units of Btu per ton.
