energy balance  

Definition

  • The energy balance of an energy resource generally refers to the ratio of the amount of energy expended to extract the resource to the final energy actually available to the user. A negative net energy balance (below the 1:1 threshold) indicates that more energy must be supplied than the resource can provide.
