Catastrophic failure ReliabilityWhich applications (in heating/electrical loading) does it fit well? Fuel shortages/ sustainability issues LongevityMight we see Tech improvements?Pollution Track recordDoes it have other uses (waste disposal, etc) or useful bi-products? Price volatility EfficiencyJob creation? VersatilityEconomic growth? IntermittencyIP development? Fuel scarcityWill deployment substantially drive E-curve?

6. Task: Complete Tech menu and divide up amongst the group. Design 1 slide template containing key information and SWOT analysis and a good image Go away and fill out your designated slides, put them on the wiki, and return to present to the group. For technologies with a range of different types (eg solar PV or wave power), find examples of different varieties and compare and contrast them FRIDAY- We’ll be balancing the energy mix!
