Specialisation: Sustainable energy resources

The need for a sustainable energy supply is becoming increasingly important with dwindling fossil fuels, environmental pollution and climate change. This theme focuses on the sustainable development of the energy sector. Emphasis is placed on the optimal use of renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar and water. The core value here is sustainable development based on an optimally balanced energy matrix, in line with the environmental policy as contained in the national objectives with regard to the Paris Convention, whereby the financial-technical aspects with regard to optimization are also discussed.
Students will be able to assess renewable energy sources and develop appropriate solutions, taking into account the complex links of renewable energy with economic, social and environmental aspects.
