World energy outlook
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss leading problems linked to energy that the world is now confronting and propose some ideas concerning possible solutions, and conclude that it is necessary to pursue actively the development of coal, natural gas, and nuclear power.

The role of CO2 capture and utilization in mitigating climate change
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential contribution of carbon capture and utilization (CCU) to the mitigation of CO2 emissions has been investigated and the authors find that CCU will only account for a small amount of the required total mitigation effort.
Journal ArticleDOI
EROI of different fuels and the implications for society
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on assessing the energy costs of modern day society and its relation to GDP and their most important focus is the characteristics of our major energy sources including each fuel's energy return on investment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Year in review--EROI or energy return on (energy) invested.
TL;DR: A review of the main areas of interest and a history of the development of EROI are provided, as well as a review of some of the various definitions of E ROI and how they apply to EROi analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Energy in Economic Growth
TL;DR: Time‐series analysis shows that energy and GDP cointegrate, and energy use Granger causes GDP when capital and other production inputs are included in the vector autoregression model, however, various mechanisms can weaken the links between energy and growth.

Energy and the u.s. Economy: a biophysical perspective.
TL;DR: A series of hypotheses is presented about the relation of national energy use to national economic activity (both time series and cross-sectional) which offer a different perspective from standard economics for the assessment of historical and current economic events.

Dynamic life cycle assessment (LCA) of renewable energy technologies
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic approach towards the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of renewable energy technologies is presented and it is shown that for all renewable energy chains, the inputs of finite energy resources and emissions of greenhouse gases are extremely low compared with the conventional system.
