Energy – based on fossil fuels and, increasingly, renewables – is an essential component of our existence. The cost, availability and efficient utilisation of energy are increasingly strong focal points in the strategies of governments world-wide, as they realise that the 'raw material' for most of the energy used today has a finite life.

Large industries and small households alike depend on a reliable provision of energy. Energy includes not only electricity, but also heat and transportation. The course will make you aware of the relationship between demand and supply of energy, a relationship that consists of...

This course teaches you about solar technology and its ability to combat the effects of global climate change. As fossil fuels become less profitable and sustainable, renewable energy has emerged as the obvious answer to ecological sustainability. Despite its importance, solar power generation technologies are rare and poorly understood. Sign up for this course to take your place on the front lines of the fight against climate change.The world is facing an energy crisis: as long as the Earth’s climate temperature and sea levels continue to rise, a solution to save our planet must be found. Renewable energy is an...

This MSc is designed as a multidisciplinary transition degree relevant to students from a wide variety of backgrounds wishing to apply their knowledge and experience in the renewable energy industry.

The taught part of the degree addresses the technical, environmental and economic drivers that are shaping the marine renewable energy industry. An individual research project then allows students to specialise in a topic of their choice.

The degree team has strong links with stakeholders in marine renewables and has unique experience and expertise gained at the geographical heart of marine renewables in the UK....

This free online course gauges the potential of solar energy to satisfy the world's energy needs. We explain various phenomena related to the absorption of solar energy and the importance of maintaining the delicate balance of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. We also study the background radiation of the universe and its characteristics and conclude by teaching you the photovoltaic process of capturing solar energy.This free online course asserts that solar energy, which is renewable and obtained from the use of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun, is sufficient to meet the world’s energy needs. We investigate how solar radiation...

Understand how hydrogen can help reduce carbon emissions to become a key player in the clean energy transition.Delve into the hydrogen industry with Deakin UniversityDepending on its production, hydrogen has the potential to be a clean energy source. As countries work toward net-zero, hydrogen could be a promising solution to reducing carbon emissions. This three-week course from Deakin University will help you gain insight and awareness into the Australian hydrogen industry. Hearing from experts in the field, you’ll discover the types of jobs and skills needed across the supply chain in this emerging area. With this knowledge, you’ll explore how...

Led by renowned academics operating at the heart of Energy Law globally, this uniquely positioned Master's programme will provide you with a strong, reputable foundation of knowledge for your career and enable you to stand out in an increasingly topical industry.

In energy terms, we live in times of great flux as the demand for energy continues to rise - particularly with newly developing nations now seeking new energy and wealth. Yet, the paradox is that this explosion of activity is happening precisely at the point in world history when we’re also trying to seriously reduce our...

This course delivers the key concepts of subsurface energy and CO2 storage, geothermal energy or transitional gas and integrates geoscience, engineering, political and societal aspects important for large scale implementation of these technologies. The programme is recommended for Geoscientists, Petroleum Engineers, and Governmental Stakeholders and beyond such that they can participate in the management of subsurface reservoirs used to switch from a fossil fuel driven to a decarbonised economy.

This degree is delivered by The Lyell Centre and the Institute of GeoEnergy Engineering committed to delivering research and training courses that meet the needs of the international...

How do we calculate the energy used in our daily life? There are many energy units, calculation methods and concepts to understand when calculating energy. In this course, you will learn the main energy concepts, the correct terminology and how to make accurate calculations rapidly. In addition, you will cover energy conversion between the main units of fuels, Carnot efficiency, temperature scales and many other critical components.How much energy does it take to power a home, a school or an entire city? How would you go about calculating these? Our production and energy-use, primarily from fossil fuels, contribute to climate...

This unique Master’s examines both energy and environmental law and the ways in which they directly impact each another. During your studies, you’ll gain a valuable insight into this fast-developing, highly topical industry, and form a solid basis to forge a successful career in this field.

Tapping into the growing need for lawyers with interdisciplinary knowledge, this programme will equip you with the necessary knowledge and skills to operate effectively at the intersection of energy and environmental matters. Our programme produces lawyers that understand how environmental law affects the energy industry in its physical, technical, economic and...
