Technology Type

This dimension sorts energy technologies by their basic type, generation, storage or efficiency. Wikipedia notes that energy development includes "the production of fossil fuel-derived, nuclear, and renewable sources of energy, and for the recovery and reuse of energy that would otherwise be wasted," several distinct types of technology at once. Browsing by technology type keeps technologies of the same kind grouped together.
