Genearal - record for time, energy, and optimization of workflow on GVCS and related projects

Wikipedia

  • Table of common materials - [1]

Materials

  • Wood - 8.5MJ/kg

Specific - Energy of Production

  • 14-17 kWhr are used for producing 1 kg of PLA plastic 3D printing filament! See excellent industrial ecology paper, p. S84 at [2]
  • Note that this is the same amount of energy as that required to smelt 1 kg of aluminum from aluminum oxide!
