Reviews

'This expert analysis provides an important contribution to understanding the technicalities of energy technology cost dynamics. Given the urgent need for delivery of low-cost renewable energy technologies in particular, it is vital to understand how to accelerate this process of technological learning.' -- Miguel Mendonca, World Future Council, Germany ' Experience curves are an important instrument for policy makers. This book has a thorough discussion of such curves for a large number of energy technologies and will therefore be very useful around the world.' -- Jose Goldemberg, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil
