Abstract

Exergy-based methods consist of at least an exergetic analysis, which can be combined with an economic analysis and a life cycle assessment in order to evaluate and improve energy-intensive processes. The author coined the term exergoeconomics in 1984 to replace the term thermoeconomics when exergy costing is used in the combination of an exergetic analysis with a cost analysis and to emphasize the role of exergy in the efforts to reduce the product cost. He also developed a general exergoeconomic methodology based on exergy-based variables and on appropriate definitions of the “product” and “fuel” for each component of an energy conversion system. These definitions and the application of exergoeconomics were generalized by A. Lazzaretto and the author in 2006 in an approach based on specific costs (SPECO approach).
