Geo-Energy and the Global Energy System – An Introduction (ETR07)
- To be announced for 2025
Description
This course provides an overview of the global energy system and all its components including recent developments on all continents. It showcases present-day exploration and development of hydrocarbons as well as future sustainable new energy projects like geothermal. It also discusses the way forward in the energy transition with geo-energy and the subsurface playing a vital role.
Next to this, the course introduces the global carbon cycle and the basics of climate change with the aim to see where the main levers are in the energy transition. Thereby, it addresses some of the still remaining misconceptions around energy resources and their role in climate change. The aim is to support expediting the journey towards sustainable new energy solutions and net-zero emissions.
COMPUTER REQUIREMENTS: Internet Access, MS Office (Excel, Word and Powerpoint)
Participants are welcome to bring their own laptops to class.
Course Level: Foundation / Skill
Duration: 5 days
Instructor: Jürgen Grötsch
