Energy Transitions and Sustainability

A particular focus is put on energy transitions, including both societal and environmental dimensions. In this context, we will discuss, for example, energy justice dimensions and spatial aspects (land demand) in the transition.

Further, the course will examine the present debate regarding energy demand, energy efficiency and energy end-use technology status and potential, as well as introducing energy scenarios.

The course addresses generation supply and demand options with a focus on energy technologies (e.g. wind, solar, biofuel) and other strategies (e.g. energy services and capabilities approach) to assess the needs for, and impacts of, generation systems in both industrialized countries and the Global South.

Finally, the course introduces (governance) strategies for the intervention and transformation of energy systems.
