Future of low carbon energy

As our awareness of climate change grows, the issue of carbon, and more importantly low carbon energy, is very much a challenge

It is impossible to live in today’s world and not come across the phrases ‘low carbon energy’ ‘carbon footprint’ and ‘carbon emissions’. As our awareness of and concern for climate change grows, the issue of carbon, and more importantly low carbon energy, is very much a 21st century challenge.

Every aspect of our daily lives, from heating our homes, driving our cars, transportation of our food and manufacture of our clothes, involves the burning of fuels and therefore the emission of carbon into the atmosphere, but does it have to be this way? Are there cost effective, sustainable and viable alternatives that will support economic and social development without compromising the environment?

This module focuses students to look at the energy possibilities and suggest strategies to tackle this very real 21st century challenge.
