The concepts of Carbon Emissions Pinch Analysis (CEPA) techniques and Energy Return of Investment (EROI), with special attention to the methodology and system boundaries of EROI analysis have been reviewed in this literature. The analyses of EROI results for different fuel types especially EROI results of hydropower plants are also presented. The essential features of storage type hydropower plants also have been generally discussed as an important part of EROI’s Energy input calculation. Special
