International Workshop on Technology Learning and Deployment

Location and date(s) of workshop:	IEA, Paris: 11-12 June 2007

Organiser(s):	IEA

Contact(s):

Background:	Technology learning is a key issue for energy R&D and energy investment decisions in emerging new technologies. Experience curves help clarify the potential benefits of deployment programmes and provide policy analysts with a tool to explore technology and policy options which can support the transformation of energy systems. The objective of the workshop is to bring together an advisory group of experts to discuss potential deployment programmes aimed at the key supply technologies discussed in ETP 2006. The main focus of this workshop will be on supply technologies.
