- anda ülevaade meretranspordi, tuuleparkide, mereressursside väärindamise olemasolevatest ja tulevikutehnoloogiatest;
- tutvustada vee/reovee põhilisi kvaliteedinäitajaid ja reovee töötlemise põhiprotsesse ning tehnoloogiaid;
- tutvustada atmosfäärikaitse probleeme, heitgaaside puhastusprotsesse ja seadmeid;
- tutvustada tahkete ja ohtlike jäätmete käitluse põhiprotsesse ning seadmeid;
- anda ülevaade mürkainetest vees ja nende koosmõjudest, kumulatiivsest, piiriülesest reostusest ning selle seirest, ennetus- ning leevendusmeetmetest;
- anda ülevaade võõrliikide likvideerimise võimalustest ning tehnoloogiatest nende kommertsialiseerimiseks;
- tutvustada erinevaid strateegiad süsinikuneutraalsuse saavutamiseks;
- kujundada arusaam erinevate sektorite dekarboniseerimisega seotud väljakutsetest ja võimalustest.
course aims in English
