The total net (avoided) greenhouse emissions of the wind turbines are calculated by subtracting the initial and recurring embodied emissions from the net emissions that would have been released from traditional fossil-fuel-based energy production for the equivalent quantity of energy produced by the wind turbines. These emissions have also been calculated based on the above encouragement, support and guidance. The author also acknowl- edges Prof. Manfred Lenzen, The University of Sydney, for his work in developing the base I–O model used in the study.
