Example Data Table

Process	Energy Input	Mass Output	Batch Time	Cost per kWh	Emission Factor	Energy Intensity
Solvent Recovery	900 kWh	450 kg	6 h	$0.11	0.40	2.00 kWh/kg
Reactor Heating	1500 kWh	600 kg	8 h	$0.13	0.45	2.50 kWh/kg
Drying Stage	700 kWh	280 kg	5 h	$0.12	0.39	2.50 kWh/kg

Formula Used

Energy Intensity = Total Energy Input ÷ Useful Output

Convert the entered energy to kWh first. Then divide by the selected production basis, such as kilograms, liters, or moles.

Energy Intensity: kWh per kg, L, or mol
Total Energy Cost: Energy in kWh × cost per kWh
Cost per Unit: Total energy cost ÷ output
Total Emissions: Energy in kWh × emission factor
Emissions per Unit: Total emissions ÷ output
Throughput: Output ÷ batch time
Average Power Demand: Energy in kWh ÷ batch time

This structure helps compare chemical processes using one standardized performance lens.
