Sustainable Energy Technology

MSc Programme

Sustainable Energy Technology includes renewable energy sources (such as solar

energy, wind energy, and energy from biomass) and technologies designed to improve
energy efficiency. A transition to Sustainable Energy is necessary to meet the growing
global demand for energy and to address the threat of climate change caused by
greenhouse gas emissions. This transition will require fundamental innovations
affecting the world’s energy landscape.
