The Principles of Sustainable Energetics course provides students with a basic insight into the technical aspects and innovations associated with sustainable energy use. The course focuses on a wide range of sustainable energy sources, analyses their technological aspects and explores innovative approaches to achieving energy independence. Students will learn about modern technologies in the use of biomass, waste, water, wind, geothermal, solar, nuclear sources of energy and energy storage. In addition, emphasis will be placed on technological approaches to the combined heat and power (CHP) technology: cogeneration of heat, power and other by-products. Students will learn about the challenges of integrating sustainable resources into the grid and understand the technical aspects of thermal and electrical energy storage. An important part of the course is also the exploration of carbon capture, transport, storage and utilization technologies (CCS/U) and their role in combating climate change. The course concludes with a look at current topics in sustainable energy, including strategies and policies that support a climate-friendly approach, such as the Green Deal and Fit for 55. Students will be encouraged to think about future directions in energy and to approach engineering challenges related to sustainability in creative ways.
