Sustainable Energy Transition series
Explore global challenges, analytical tools, and practical approaches related to the transition towards more sustainable energy systems.
Course description
What are the main challenges of the global energy transition? How can we model and analyze energy systems to design sustainable solutions? In what ways do history, technology, and business practices shape our energy future?
This series of MOOCs explores the evolution of energy use, the tools for analysing and modelling energy flows, and the methods of Industrial Ecology to address circular economy strategies. It also highlights how renewable energy companies integrate sustainability into their strategies, combining theory with real-world case studies.
