Energy technology

Energy technology is an interdisciplinary engineering science having to do with the efficient, safe, environmentally friendly and economical extraction, conversion, transportation, storage and use of energy, targeted towards yielding high efficiency whilst skirting side effects on humans, nature and the environment.

For people, energy is an overwhelming need and as a scarce resource it has been an underlying cause of political conflicts and wars. The gathering and use of energy resources can be harmful to local ecosystems and may have global outcomes.

Interdisciplinary fields

As an interdisciplinary science Energy technology is linked with many interdisciplinary fields in sundry, overlapping ways.

  • Physics, for thermodynamics and nuclear physics
  • Chemistry for fuel, combustion, air pollution, flue gas, battery technology and fuel cells.
  • Electrical engineering
  • Engineering, often for fluid energy machines such as combustion engines, turbines, pumps and compressors.
  • Geography, for geothermal energy and exploration for resources.
