Course Description
The popularity of this course - and the reason so many attend by way of past-attendee recommendations - is driven by the manner in which it paints a hype-free, independent picture of renewable energy as a set of industries within the wider markets of energy and finance. Through both presented materials, interactive discussions and group-based working, you will leave with a comprehensive picture of how neither technology, finance, policy nor resource availability alone can create a renewable energy revolution. Instead you will learn and model how all must work together, along with a variety of other considerations, to create a sustainable, affordable and deliverable low-carbon energy world.
