Online Master of Science in Energy Studies

Energy is a major cause of concern for government agencies as well as for economic actors globally. In the wake of the Fukushima disaster, the future of nuclear energy is in question, but what can replace it? Solar, wind, thorium or some yet to be discovered technology? Oil itself – the miraculous energy source of the late 20th century, is widely believed to be peaking, and yet output is at an all-time high and prices still very low. What is the outlook for the next 20 years and what are the implications for private and public organizations alike?

These are some of the critical topics covered in EUCLID’s unique online Master in Energy Studies – unique because offered by an international intergovernmental organization committed to sustainable development, and unique for being delivered completely is distance / online format.

What’s the key to using alternative energy, like solar and wind? Storage — so we can have power on tap even when the sun’s not out and the wind’s not blowing. In this accessible, inspiring talk, Donald Sadoway takes to the blackboard to show us the future of large-scale batteries that store renewable energy.
