About the Exhibition
This page presents the virtual exhibition “Energy Transitions” and its author—historian Nuno Luís Madureira.

This exhibition—written by historian Nuno Luís Madureira—introduces the concept of “energy transitions,” structural shifts in energy use and their pathways, obstacles, and consequences, challenging the view of “transitions” as the simple replacement of one energy resource by another.
