Annotation of Course

Renewable energy resources (wind, solar, hydroelectric, ocean energy, geothermal energy, biomass and biofuels) are an alternative to fossil fuels that help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, diversify energy supply and reduce dependence on unreliable and unstable fossil fuel markets (especially oil and gas). In the last 15 years, many EU legal acts have been adopted, which oblige member countries to expand the market of renewable energy resources, implement sustainability policies, not to waste energy, and choose environmentally friendly solutions. The lectures of this subject will provide a better understanding of the technologies of renewable energy resources, their transformation possibilities, applicability and the evaluation of the main technical and economic indicators. Students must attend at least 60 per cent of the seminars and at least half of the lectures at the scheduled times.

Aim of Course

To provide students with knowledge about renewable energy technologies and sustainable development.
