Estimation of useful-stage energy returns on investment for fossil fuels and implications for renewable energy systems

My colleague Emmanuel Aramendia is the lead author on a new article entitled Estimation of useful-stage energy returns on investment for fossil fuels and implications for renewable energy systems published in Nature Energy.

We found that the Energy Return on Investment (EROI) of renewable energy carriers is higher than the EROI of fossil fuels when accounting for the useful stage.
