Dutch term or phrase: een laag energetisch rendement opleveren
"Het roken (van vlees) geschiedt in een open vuur, welk proces *een laag energetisch rendement oplevert*."
Ik kom er niet uit, omdat ik met *energetisch rendement* niet uit de voeten kan. Wordt er bedoeld, dat het een proces is, waar veel energie bij verloren gaat?
