Primary energy

• Primary Energy is the sum of energy used in extracting raw materials, pre-production, manufacture, transport and end of life disposal

The all encompassing methodology used to produce an LCA calculates the Primary Energy in order to provide and accurate measure of energy usage associated with the products.

Embodied energy is a term which is sometimes, confusingly, used to describe only part of the total energy impacts associated with a products’ life cycle.
