Emergy-Based Sustainability of the Peruvian Economy

In this study, emergy evaluation was used to analyze the Peruvian ecological – economic system. The material and energy flows were evaluated in units of solar emergy. The performance of the Peruvian system was assessed through emergy-based indices. The main calculated indicators are the following: (a) Emergy/USD ratio = 1.01 E+13 sej/dollar; (b) Emergy Yield Ratio (EYR) = 9.69; and (c) Environm...
