maries of the study’s key findings (Chapter 2) and of the technology assessments (Chapter 3) of Part 2.

Part 2 contains six chapters (Chapters 4–9), which document the committee’s detailed assessments of energy-supply and end-use technologies. The topics addressed in these chapters are, specifically,

• Energy efficiency in transportation, industry, and residential and commercial buildings (Chapter 4)

• Production and use of alternative transportation fuels, in particular biofuels as well as fuels derived from converting coal, or mixtures of coal and biomass, into liquids (Chapter 5)

• Production of renewable energy such as wind, solar, and geothermal energy, as well as hydropower and biopower (Chapter 6)

• Domestic fossil-fuel energy, particularly as coupled with technologies that would capture and safely store CO₂ (Chapter 7)

• Production of electricity from nuclear energy (Chapter 8)

• Electricity transmission and distribution systems that reliably accommodate intermittent energy supplies such as solar and wind and sophisticated demand-side energy efficiency technologies (Chapter 9).
