Beschreibung des Angebots

Objectives

  • Understand holistically the energy system and the sustainability challenges (energy markets & economics, planetary boundaries, health and environmental impacts, circular economy, public policies & legal frameworks, renewable energy technologies, etc.)
  • Analyse and model energy transition pathways through system integration and optimisation at a territorial level
  • Acquire life cycle assessment (LCA) expertise to assess the environmental impacts of energy conversion, storage and distribution technologies
  • Evaluate social impact and acceptance of energy projects
  • Design strategies and public policies to activate a sustainable energy transition within the constraints imposed by economic, social and political factors

This course is granted 10 ECTS credits.

Le Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) est une formation postgrade donnée par les hautes écoles et équivaut à au moins 10 crédits ECTS.
