GS_GREEN_UE_Climate and Energy for a Sustainable Transition - GEUG1CES

Goal(s)

Students will be able to:

• identify and describe the main energy carriers and sources, and their role in the socio-economic development of societies.
• explain the essential transformations of primary energy into forms usable by the end user.
• distinguish between the different sources of energy (fossil, renewable, etc.), their available reserves and their main characteristics.
• characterize the main energy carriers (electricity, thermal fluid, hydrogen gas) and their use.
• describe the processes involved in converting primary energy into secondary energy carriers.
• analyze the major challenges (climatic, health and environmental) associated with the energy transition in the context of sustainable development.
