An authoritative overview of the main technologies which could shape the future of electricity. By 2050, the UK aims to achieve a 60% reduction of 1990 carbon dioxide emission levels - but both the electricity industry and patterns of electricity use must change radically if this is to be achieved. This book explains how such ambitious goals might be realised. Each chapter is written by a technical expert in a manner accessible to readers interested in energy technology, policy and economics.
