| Syllabus plan/Content: | The unexpected and precipitous 2015 and 2020 fall in oil prices on one hand, continued geopolitical instability and constantly rising demand for accessible and effortable energy supply as well as the ongoing global climate negotiations on the other hand are witness to the increasingly dynamic nature of energy markets. In a time of so much uncertainty, understanding the implications of the shifting energy landscape for economic, environmental and security priorities is vital. Given the crucial importance of COP21 (Paris, Dec 2015), this module will provide students with facts and analysis of national climate pledges in the context of the recent downturn in fossil-fuel prices, suggest pragmatic policy measures to advance climate goals without blunting economic growth and assess adaptation needs, including the fast growing power sectors in some transformation countries such as China. Specic focus, naturally, is laid uopn recent developments and challenges related to Germany´s energy transition which aims at transforming Germany´s so far dominant fossil fuel based energy supply system into a „zero carbon“ energy system based on two pillars: renewable energy and energy efficiency. And without nuclear power. The Module "Transitioning the Energy Systems and their technical carbon cycles"will outline and discuss projections based on the latest available data and market developments; insights on the trajectories of fossil fuels, renewables, the power sector and energy efficiency; and analysis on trends in GHG emissions and GHG mitigation technologies, fossil-fuel and renewable energy subsidies, and on universal access to modern energy services. |
| Learning Goals | |
| Subject-specific skills and competences: | Upon completion of this module, the participating students will be able review literature and write articles to: • identify key challenges facing the energy sector and innovation pathways to cope with these challenges • recognise the role of conventional and renewable energy sources in a global energy mix and distinguish main trends in fuel substitution, decarbonisation and renewable carbon utilisation • distinguish elements and steps of scenario planning • analyse the role of innovation in the energy transition on the specific example (expressed in the energy innovation essay) • recognise main elements of energy innovation policies and their practical application • identify and assess problems, challenges, and solutions related to energy transistion • identify and assess the new business models in the energy sector • obtain knowledge and skills in leadership for energy innovation and transition |
| Generic competences (Personal and key skills): | Upon completion of this module, the participating students have developed paper writing and strategical and analytical thinking skills. They will be able to work and communicate in teams and with international experts in the arena of the energy transition, and they have acquired suitable time management strategies. |
