Course Contents
Renewable energy; evaluate interactions between energy, environment and economic systems in scientific interdisciplinary studies. In this way, it tries to reduce the risks of climate change and to meet the increasing energy demand. Electricity and heat are derived from renewable sources such as solar, wind, ocean, hydropower, biomass, geothermal resources, biofuels and hydrogen. With the use of these resources, energy infrastructure investments, energy security and regulation, project planning and market structures are based on how to meet this demand.
