Renewable Energy Technologies

Renewable energy sources play a key role in the transition toward a zero-carbon society: by 2050, they are expected to supply more than 2/3 of the global energy demand, strongly contributing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limiting the effects of global warming. The MOOC offers an updated and comprehensive overview of renewable energy technologies, from technical and economic perspectives.
