procedureProject-based activities in Energy Technology Assessment (ETA) education challenge students to conduct impact assessments of novel energy technologies, requiring them to consider how these technologies might alter existing energy systems, energy markets, or social groups.
claimEnergy technology assessment (ETA) evaluates energy technologies across their entire lifecycle, ranging from resource extraction to disposal or recycling.
claimInterdisciplinary study, which integrates knowledge from engineering, economics, political science, and environmental studies, promotes thorough evaluations of energy technologies.
claimTo be effectively focused on Energy Technology Assessment (ETA), a curriculum should encourage collaboration across disciplines to help students understand the connections between energy technologies and their social, technical, and economic implications.
claimEnergy transitions have a global scope because challenges and solutions related to energy technologies vary significantly across regions depending on available resources, infrastructure, and broad policy contexts.
claimAssigning students the task of assessing the sustainability of a proposed energy project by evaluating its lifecycle emissions, social impact, and economic feasibility allows students to engage with real-world examples and analyze how different energy technologies contribute to or hinder sustainability goals.
claimEducators should teach students to evaluate the long-term environmental, social, and economic implications of energy technologies, rather than focusing solely on technical aspects.
claimEnergy Technology Assessments (ETAs) provide researchers with information regarding current energy technologies, their future development, and associated challenges.

referenceThe United States Department of Energy published 'An Assessment of Energy Technologies and Research Opportunities' in the 2015 Quadrennial Technology Review.
claimSignificant social indicators for energy and electricity technologies include related job opportunities, health effects, food safety and security risks, and work-related accidents and fatalities.
claimThe adoption of new electricity or energy technologies requires human-centric design and adequate capacity building to ensure systems are comfortable for operators and users to embrace.
claimThe primary environmental indicators for assessing energy technology include greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, environmental external costs, radionuclide external costs, perceived future severe accidents, and historical fatal accidents.
claimThe development of new energy technologies, business models, and policy priorities requires new market participation models, control models, rules, regulations, governance, and institutional design.
