Topic 3.2. Energy module implementation. peak oil concept,EROEI,energy return,energy invested,renewable energy and Serie: Simulation models for the design of transition paths towards a sustainable
In this topic, we're going to take a quick look at: -the great importance of energy in the development of humanity and our societies -the current stagnation in oil production and the peak oil concept -the EROEI (energy return on energy invested) concept and its importance -the current situation of other non renewable energy sources -the challenge of renewable energy sources for filling the gap left by the another energy sources. -the implementation in the MEDEAS model of all energy sources.
