Embodied energy

Embodied energy is the amount of energy that went into making something. It's like an energy score that tells you how much energy was used to make a product. It takes into account the energy used for growing the raw materials, transporting the materials, manufacturing and assembling the product, delivering it to its destination, and disposing of any leftover materials. Embodied energy helps us understand how much energy resources we use when we make products like clothes, cars, furniture, and buildings.
