IEA Energy Technology Essentials - Nuclear, Hydrogen and Fuels Cells

The Energy Technology Essentials series from the IEA has recently been extended with three new issues on Nuclear Energy, Hydrogen Production and Distribution and Fuel Cells.

The issue on Nuclear energy portrays a very good characterisation of the nuclear power production facilities, including fourth generation reactors and adressing costs, barries and potential. It also includes coverage of waste reprocessing and disposal.

Hydrogen and Fuel Cells are two reasonably new technologies that are growing very fast. Along with the costs, barriers and potential, the distribution and storage topics are also consistently covered.

Once again, the IEA officials have put together short but very complete documents on energy technology issues.
