Energy supply is foundational to modern society, but damaging to the environment. This book takes a 'systems view', from extraction of primary fuel, through conversion to usable energy, and transportation to point of use. It explores initiatives to generate electricity in an environmentally benign manner, and decarbonise the supply of energy.

A supplement to and expansion of the 1974 bibliography, Coal processing (TID-3349) published by the Administration under its earlier name: Atomic Energy Commission.
