<p><b>Página nueva</b></p><div>La '''energa gris''' o '''energía incorporada''' o '''energía cautiva''' es un concepto de [[contabilidad ambiental]] más que de física; hace referencia a la ''cantidad de energía'' consumida en todas las fases del ciclo de un producto, material o servicio.

* la concepción y diseño un producto o servicio<br />
* la extracción y transporte de las materias primas <br />
* la refinación y transformación de las materias primas y en la fabricación de un producto o la preparación de un servicio<br />

* el desensamblaje, la deconstrucción, la descomposición y la disposición de residuos y desechos<br />
* el salvamento de componentes reutilizables, la adecuación para reutilización y el reciclaje<br />
<br />
El concepto es útil como un [[indicador]] de [[eficiencia]] ambiental cuando se quiere comparar alternativas de los materiales, productos o servicios mismos o de los procesos en cada uno de las fases del ciclo. <br />

Graue Energie <br />
<br />
Als Graue Energie wird die Energiemenge bezeichnet, die für die Herstellung, Transport und Lagerung (inkl. aller Vorprodukte ) sowie die Entsorgung eines Produktes verbraucht wird, im Gegensatz zum direkten Energieverbrauch bei dessen Anwendung, <br />
<br />
Gelegentlich bezeichnet der Begriff auch die zur Erbringung einer Dienstleistung verbrauchte Energiemenge, ebenfalls unter Einschluss der gesamten Vorkette .<br />
<br />
Im Fall von Energieerzeugungsanlagen drückt man das gleiche Konzept üblicherweise durch den sog. Erntefaktor oder die Energetische Amortisationszeit aus. <br />
<br />
Die Graue Energie kann den direkten Energiebedarf des Produktes in seiner Verwendung im Laufe der Lebensdauer um ein Mehrfaches übersteigen. <br />
<br />
Im gesamtwirtschaftlichen Mittel verursacht jeder Euro, den ein Haushalt ausgibt, ca. eine Kilowattstunde an "grauer Energie". Allerdings ist dieser Wert bei unterschiedlichen Gütern oder Dienstleistungen extrem unterschiedlich. <br />
<br />
Das Konzept der Grauen Energie hat vor allem bei der Energieeinsparung aus Gründen des Umweltschutzes eine wichtige Bedeutung. Eine Strategie zur Verringerung des Verbrauches kann darauf abzielen, von mehreren Produktalternativen möglichst diejenige mit dem niedrigsten (angenommenen) Energieverbrauch zu wählen, z.B. Bahn- statt Flugzeugreisen oder lokal produzierte Lebensmittel statt aus fernen Ländern importierte, bzw. solches Verhalten zu fördern. <br />

Traditionally considered, embodied energy is an accounting methodology which aims to find the sum total of the energy necessary - from the raw material extraction, to transport, manufacturing, assembly, installation as well as the capital and other costs of a specific material - to produce a service or product and finally its disassembly, deconstruction and/or decompostion. Different methodologies produce different understandings of the scale and scope of application and the type of energy embodied. Some methodologies are interested in accounting for the energy embodied in terms of oil that support economic processes. Other types of methodologies are concerned to account for the energy embodied in terms of sunlight that support ecological processes. And others like systems ecology are concerned about the support of the ecological-economic process as a whole. Embodied energy as a concept used in systems ecology seeks to measure the "true" energy cost of an item, and the extended this to the concept of "true" value. Methodologies such as emergy have also sought to link embodied energy with foundational concepts, like capacitance for example, in physical, electronic and chemical sciences.<br />

[edit] Embodied energy methodologies<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Different methodologies use different scales of data to calculate energy embodied in products and services of nature and human civilization. International consensus on the appropriateness of data scales and methodologies is pending. This difficulty can give a wide range in embodied energy values for any given material. In the absence of a comprehensive global embodied energy public dynamic database, embodied energy calculations may omit important data on, for example, the rural road/highway construction and maintenance needed to move a product, human marketing, advertising, catering services, non-human services and the like. Such omissions can be a source of significant methodological error in embodied energy estimations (Lenzen 2001). Without an estimation and declaration of the embodied energy error, it is difficult to calibrate the sustainability index, and so the value of any given material, process or service to environmental and human economic processes.<br />
<br />

[edit] Classification of embodied energy methodologies<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There appear to be three main differences in contemporary embodied energy methodologies. Following Tennenbaum (1988) these may be identified as ‘anthropocentric’ and ‘capitalcentric’, with a third identified as ‘ecocentric’. According to Tennenbaum, the difference in methodologies is determined by how they treat, and where they attribute energy depreciation in a network of ecological system energy flows. In all the methods, depreciation is taken away from the production process under consideration and reassigned elsewhere in the total system. What characterises a method is where they assign this energetic loss. According to David M. Scienceman (1987), the principle point of difference is whether embodied energy is partitioned at work intersections and apportioned among pathways.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[edit] Anthropocentric embodied energy analysis<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Anthropocentric embodied energy analysis is interested in what energy goes to supporting a consumer, and so all energy depreciation is assigned to the final demand of consumer but not to storages of ‘assets’ or ‘capital stocks’. It is associated with Hannon’s work. There is no requirement that energy must be expressed as one energy form or quality.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[edit] Capitalcentric embodied energy analysis<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Capitalcentric embodied energy analysis is interested to know what supports assets, energy depreciation is therefore assigned to storages of assets’ or ‘capital stocks’, but not to final demand. This method is associated with Herendeen's and Costanza's works, where embodied energy is apportioned among pathways and partitioned at work intersections, and is therefore additive just like first law heat energy. As with the anthropocentric view, there is no requirement that energy must be expressed as one energy form or quality.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[edit] Ecocentric embodied energy analysis: Emergy<br />
<br />
<br />

In ecocentric embodied energy analysis, depreciation is assigned to a unit of production, that is, assigned to both storages of ‘assets’ or ‘capital stocks’, and to final demand. This method is associated with Howard T. Odum's works, where embodied energy is not apportioned among pathways and is therefore not additive just like first law heat energy. Energy is only partitioned at work intersections that are diverging, flexible and high-quality energies that feed back (1994, p. 264). Odum's interpretation was informed by similar notions of feed back as used in electronic circuits.<br />

"Energy used in developing energy of higher quality is 'embodied energy'" (H.T.Odum 1994, p. 251).<br />

Dr. D.M.Scienceman coined the term 'emergy' to make this method dinstinct from the above two types of analysis: "The prefix em- can, fortuitously, even be taken to indicate an energy memory property, a record of source energy transformed." In the emergy methodology there is a requirement that energy must be expressed in one energy form or quality. Non-emergy approaches most often evaluate only nonrenewable resources, depending on what human technologies are able to extract from them (user-side quality). The Energy Systems Language is used to help make emergy algorithms transparent.<br />

The history of constructing a system of accounts which records the energy flows through our environment can be traced back to the origins of accounting itself. As a distinct method, it is often associated with the physiocrat's "substance" theory of value (Mirowski 1999, pp. 154-163), and later the agricultural energetics of Serhii Podolinsky, a Ukrainian socialist physician (Martinez-Alier 1990), and the ecological energetics of V.V.Stanchenskii (Weiner 2000, pp. 70-71, 78-82). However, the main methods of embodied energy accounting as they are used today grew out of Wassily Leontief's input-output model and are called Input-Output Embodied Energy analysis. Leontief's input-output model was in turn an adaptation of the neo-classical theory of general equilibrium with application to, "the empirical study of the quantitative interdependence between interrelated economic activities" (Leontief 1966, p. 134). According to Tennenbaum (1998), Leontief's Input-Output method was adapted to embodied energy analysis by Hannon (1973) to describe ecosystem energy flows. Hannon’s adaptation tabulated the total direct and indirect energy requirements (the ‘energy intensity’) for each output made by the system. The total amount of energies, direct and indirect, for the entire amount of production was called the ‘embodied energy’.<br />
