From dollars to Joules: Integrating energetics into economic theory 

Exploring the integration of energy metrics into economic theory—often referred to as thermoeconomics or biophysical economics—reveals a range of visual resources that illustrate this interdisciplinary approach. These visuals depict concepts such as energy-based currencies, the interplay between energy consumption and economic growth, and models that merge macroeconomic systems with energy flows.

1. Energy-Based Currency Models :

One innovative concept is the "Energy Dollar," which proposes tying currency directly to energy production. This model envisions a thermoeconomic monetary system governed by physics, aligning economic incentives with technological progress and energy efficiency. A visual representation of this concept can be found in the article "The Case for an Energy Dollar" by Quai Network, which outlines the flow from energy sources to individuals through a decentralized system.

2. Macroeconomic and Energy System Integration :

The REMIND model offers a schematic that integrates macroeconomic systems with energy service demands across various sectors, such as industry, transport, and buildings. This visualization helps in understanding how energy flows are incorporated into economic modeling, particularly within the context of climate policy.

3. Energy Transition Scenarios :

Visuals illustrating different energy transition scenarios—ranging from fast to no transition—highlight the potential economic outcomes and probabilities of technological progress. These graphics underscore the significance of energy system changes on economic trajectories and the importance of policy decisions in shaping sustainable futures.

4. Energy Consumption and Economic Growth :

Graphs depicting the relationship between global energy consumption and economic growth over time provide insights into how energy use correlates with economic development. Such visuals are crucial for analyzing trends and forecasting future energy and economic dynamics.

5. Renewable Energy Integration :

Diagrams showcasing the integration of renewable energy sources into the electricity sector illustrate the social, environmental, and economic consequences of transitioning to sustainable energy. These visuals often map out the flow from various renewable sources to different forms of energy, emphasizing the complexity and interconnectivity of modern energy systems.
