Emergy Scandinavia 2021 – Environmental Support
Welcome to the third annual symposium with focus on the emergy concept and method in Sweden and Scandinavia.
Emergy and emergy analysis/synthesis is a concept and method with high potential as a system analytical tool as useful as LCA, energy systems analysis, exergy analysis, ecological footprints, and similar methods.
Still, emergy has not yet become a widespread method in Sweden, and the number of scientific publications have decreased the last years, contrary to the global trend with an increasing number of publications. With purpose to see if emergy can contribute to system analysis, Mid Sweden University gives an annual symposium with focus on the emergy concept in a Swedish and Scandinavian context.
