Onshore wind fared better, at 18:1, but the authors noted that “the value in practice may be less due to the need for backup facilities.” ” Of all the carbon-free generation options studied, only hydropower emerged as a promising energy source, with an EROI of 84:1. We tend to see these values declining over time.”
