Sustainable Energy

The adverse impacts of global warming are evident in these fast-paced times. This adverse climate change poses an urgent threat to nature and the survival of the species on our planet. It calls for innovative engineering solutions and widespread, systems-oriented coordination. 

By joining the Sustainable Energy course, you will discover renewable and non-renewable energy-generating technologies, analyse their roles in future energy outlook and learn how these are utilised across the globe.

The technologies you will observe are nuclear power, solar power, storage, bioenergy, hydropower, and wind power. Through the learnings of the Sustainable Energy course at edX, you will not only look at the technical side but also study the various aspects of energy project planning in view of social, political and economic dimensions. Amid challenging times like these, specialists from different backgrounds should come together to devise new ways to decarbonisation.

As a learner of edX’s Sustainable Energy course, you will have access to advanced strategies and tools to study pathways to reducing carbon footprint along with building agreement amongst stakeholders.  You will learn sustainable energy intricacies to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and carbon dioxide that affect climate negatively. The candidates can enrol in the programme in two modes; paid and free. In the paid mode, the learners will have access only for a limited duration.
