Module Learning Objectives and Skill Acquisition
This module consists in two parts:- The first part of the module (The Challenges of Energy Transition & Global Sustainability) will be the background vision on energy transition, aiming to identify and investigate the main challenges related to this process; in particular, it will explore elements of global sustainability, geopolitics & economics, and availability of resources. This first part of the module will end with an analysis of the strategies that could be implemented to materialize the energy transition, in synergy with the challenge of climate change
- The second part of the module (Sustainable Production and Consumption) will provide students with updated and practical information on the various forms of clean &/or smart ways to produce and use energy , as key elements to contribute to the energy transition process
