The Emergy Society
Welcome to the Emergy Society Web Site
with our new banner design!
(Our website will gradually be converted to this new design over the
next few months, at present many old design pages remain)

We are an international society dedicated to the
advancement of research on emergy and
transformity. This work is accomplished within the
framework of Energy Systems Theory (Odum 1994).

Our goal is to support research and communication  
that will increase the quantity and improve the quality
of emergy research carried out throughout the world.

If you are interested in this subject, you might
consider joining the Emergy Society.
