The 21st century population-energy-climate nexus (2016, background): “Assuming a 20 year lifespan (Kubiszewski et al., 2010), over 700,000 5 MW equivalent wind turbines will need to be installed under either scenario in the year 2099 alone (Fig.”
Dynamic Energy Return on Energy Investment (EROI) and material requirements in scenarios of global transition to renewable energies (2019, result): “This approach differs from published meta-analyses which tend to focus on the average values of the range of parameters found in the literature [9,25,28,51,90].”
The role of energy in economic growth (2011, unknown): “(Kubiszewski et al., 2010).”
On the History and Future of 100% Renewable Energy Systems Research (2022, background): “A large meta-analysis of the published estimates for the EROI of wind electricity up to the year 2010 [269] indicated an average EROI of 20, if the electricity output is converted to primary energy equivalents.”
Solar, wind and logistic substitution in global energy supply to 2050 – Barriers and implications (2022, unknown): “If one assumes 𝑁 = 30 , and a maximum fractional annual increment of 0.25, then it is easily shown that the limiting value of 𝐸𝑅𝑂𝐸𝐼 is: EROEI values reported for wind are consistently above 15, similar to estimates for nuclear [44], and are therefore a factor of 2 above this limit.”
EROI of different fuels and the implications for society (2014, unknown): “Kubiszewski et al. (2010) infer that variations in EROI values, in the case of reported EROI values for wind energy, (between process and input output analyses) stems from a greater degree of subjective system boundary decision-making by the process analyst, resulting in the exclusion of certain…”
Renewable Energy in the Context of Sustainable Development (2011, background): “Electricity from biomass is excluded, as the literature almost exclusively documents GHG instead of energy balances for this technology, and mostly covers the biofuel cycle only (Lenzen, 1999, 2008; Voorspools et al., 2000; Lenzen and Munksgaard, 2002; Lenzen et al., 2006; Gagnon, 2008; Kubiszewski ”
