Energy technologes and use of solar, wind, ocean waves, hydro and biomass energy resources are discussed.
Learning outcome
The course will give basic information about the energy resources and their role in modern society. The students will learn to evaluate the potential, advantages and disadvantages of the various energy resources.
Learning methods and activities

Recommended previous knowledge
It will be an advantage to have the equivalent of two years of university studies (120 study credits), including at least one full year unit (60 credits) in a disipline (e.g. chemistry, biology, geography). Students without university credits may also follow the course, provided they have a solid background in the natural sciences from high school. The course is intended for (non physics) students that intend to take a Master degree in natural resources management. Also other interested students may apply. Physics students must choose TFY4300 instead.
