About the Course

The global concerns for climate change and the environment, coupled with limited non-renewable resources, demanded a stronger push toward a clean energy transition. Ecological and energy transition will be driven by the greater integration of sustainable and renewable energy into the existing energy systems. Developed nations have put their steps forward, and some developing countries are showing greater inclination to clean energy transition. The ecological and energy transition faces multiple challenges, including technology development, adoption, and investment. All energy segments (Oil, Natural Gas, Coal, Nuclear, Electricity and Renewables) are reviewed under ecological and energy transition lenses.

New business models, more complex contractual relations, innovative taxation systems and more challenging geopolitical issues are flourishing in all the segments of the energy systems. Ecological and energy transition in parallel with the digital one should be very well understood to better deal with these new trends from both technical and economic points of view.

The Ecological and Energy Transition training course focuses on techno-economics, policy, and management signposts of the energy industry to explore and understand possible trajectories and the key drivers of the current transformation. It encompasses an analysis of supply and demand, global balances and outlooks, energy value chains, price discovery mechanisms, leading players' actions, renewable energy evolution/disruption, electricity industry digitalisation, environmental/climate policies, and carbon markets. The delegates will gain an overview of techno-economic aspects of the global ecological and energy transition and its current and future challenges through several case studies and discussions.

Core Objectives

Upon completing this course, the delegate will be able to:

• Understand the importance and process of ecological & energy transition
• Gain knowledge about the current situation of energy systems and their transformation
• Know the renewable energies in the context of ecological & energy transition
• Acquire about drivers and enablers of ecological & energy transition
• Know the challenges associated with the ecological & energy transition

Training Approach

This Ecological & Energy Transition training course will combine presentations with practical exercises, hands-on projects, and case studies. The delegates will be encouraged to participate actively in the questions & answers sessions. Moreover, specific expectations of each delegate will be discussed to ensure that they are treated as much as possible.
