Technological learning in the energy sector : lessons for policy, industry and science

edited by Martin Junginger (assistant professor, science, technology and society, Copernicus Institute, Utrecht University, Utrecht, the Netherlands), Wilfried van Sark (assistant professor, science, technology and society, Copernicus Institute, Utrecht University, Utrecht, the Netherlands), André Faaij (professor, science, technology and society, Copernicus Institute, Utrecht University, Utrecht, the Netherlands)

Technological learning is a key driver behind the improvement of energy technologies and subsequent reduction of production costs. Understanding how and why production costs for energy technologies decline, and whether they will continue to do so in the future, is of crucial importance for policy makers, industrial stakeholders and scientists alike. This timely and informative book therefore provides a comprehensive review of technological development and cost reductions for renewable energy, clean fossil fuel and energy-efficient demand-side technologies
