Course Objectives: | The objectives of the course is to teach the students the tradeoffs inherent in sustainability; to lead them to learn technology and technology dependent energy policy options and provide an assessment frame work to produce alternative solutions. In this respect, the conventional and renewable energy resources and the existing and future’s technologies will be examined in relation to their environmental strengths and weaknesses, their economic viability and their ability to satisfy the ever evolving regulatory expectations of the world community |
The students who have succeeded in this course; I. Understand the pillars on which sustainability stands and the importance of energy as one of the pillars II. Identify the differences between different energy resources as far as sustainability is considered III. Comprehend the local regional and global effects of energy production and consumption. IV. Know the economic evaluations pertaining to energy and the rest of the economy V. Understands various sustainability indicators and the sustainability metrics VI. Differentiate between various fossil fuels and their contribution to human processes. VII. Knows the issues related to fossil fuels from exploration , discovery , extraction to final use. VIII. Comprehend and analyze the environmental impacts of fossil fuels. IX. Differentiate between various new and renewable energy sources and their contribution to human processes |
Wide aspects of energy use from the viewpoints of sustainability, resource availability, technical performance, environmental effects, and economics. The course shows the tools to make “informed energy choices” and review the technology, environmental impacts and economics of main energy sources like nuclear, solar, wind, geothermal energies and hydropower. Covers the relationships between the development of technology, energy resources, and energy technologies available today. |
