course aims in Estonian
Õppeaine eesmärk on:
- anda üldteadmised rohelistest energiatehnoloogiatest, nende rakendustest, ökoloogilisest jalajäljest ning nendega seotud riskidest ja ohutusest;
- tutvustada erinevaid strateegiad süsinikuneutraalsuse saavutamiseks;
- kujundada arusaam erinevate sektorite dekarboniseerimisega seotud väljakutsetest ja võimalustest, sh ehitus-, transpordi-, tööstus- ja energiasektoris;
- anda teadmised roheliste energiatehnoloogiate võtmenäitajatest, roheliste energiatehnoloogiate elutsüklist ja selle hindamise rakendamisest kõrgtehnoloogilises ettevõtluses fookusega päikese-, tuule, ja vesinikuenergia tehnoloogiatel;
- tutvustada erinevaid tehnoloogia elutsükli hindamise meetodeid.
course aims in English
The aim of this course is to:
- provide general knowledge about the green energy technologies, their applications, ecological footprint, risks and safety;
- introduce different strategies towards the decarbonisation;
- provide understanding of the challenges and opportunities related to the decarbonisation of different sectors, including building, transport, industrial and energy sector;
- provide knowledge about the key indicators of the green energy technologies, the life cycle analysis methods of the green energy technologies and application of the life cycle analysis in the high-technology industry with the focus on solar photovoltaic, wind and green hydrogen technologies.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
