Net Energy Gain - Calculating NEG

Calculating NEG

A net energy gain is achieved by expending less energy acquiring a source of energy than is contained in the source to be consumed. That is,

Factors to consider when calculating NEG is the type of energy, the way energy is used and acquired, and the methods used to store or transport the energy. It is also possible to overcomplicate the equation by an infinite number of externalities and inefficiencies that may be present during the energy harvesting process.
