Learn the basics of energy use, the energy flow diagram, the pathways of end uses of energy. Next, you will learn the current energy trends, and how to perform basic usage calculations, the use of energy and its transformation into useful energy. You will also learn the output of a power plant in terms of gross output, the trade-off between environment and economic development and the environmental impact linked to the use of energy.

In this module, you will be introduced to the basic elements of a country's energy security. You will learn how energy use affects the quality of life and what is needed to improve efficient energy use and the parameters that affect the quality of life. The link between energy use and income per person will be explored along with how this affects the well-being of a particular country. The parameters that affect energy security will also be taught during this module.

In this module, you will be introduced to the basics of balance energy. You will learn counting the total supply of energy available in the country, and quantifying how this supply was consumed by the main sectors of the national economy. Then you will learn about energy economics, the viability of energy efficiency and the types of decisions involved. This will follow on with the multiple criteria on which we can be compared in terms of the reliability, inflation and cost of saved energy.

In this module, you will be introduced to basic concepts related to energy economics such as energy efficiency, and how to calculate the amount of energy needed to produce a unit of GDP in the economy. The best decision to take for a given project. Finally, you will learn how to calculate the CO2 emissions, the cost of saved carbon and the cost of saved carbon, the solar energy requirement throughout the day.

You must score at least 80% to pass this assessment.

In this module, you will be introduced to the energy potential of renewable resources like solar energy, wind energy and geothermal energy. Next, you will learn about which renewable energy materials will be constrained, the probability of peak oil and how to calculate the inverse demand curve. Finally, you will learn about the trade-off between energy, development and environment, quantify preferences and how society makes these choices.

In this module, you will learn about the philosophical perspective of biocentrism and anthropocentrism. This module will also include the theory about the impossibility of creating an ideal social mechanism, consumer and producer surplus. Then you will analyse why government policies and interventions are necessary for public goods. Finally, you will be introduced to what public goods and private goods are and how to calculate the demand curves for both cases.

In this module, you will be introduced to the main calculations of energy project financing with including themes like debt and equity, interest rate, risks and return. You will learn step by step how to calculate debt and equity via a case study. This case study will go through some calculations and teach you how to configure them.

In this module, you will be introduced to input/output analysis and its application on energy systems. This will include the overall impact of the analysis at a societal level and for a region in a country. The impacts of the energy sector on the rest of the economy will also be explored along with the possibilities of trying to reduce pollution and the investments in the industry.

In this module, you will be introduced to the greenhouse gas impacts of a coal-based power plant and the framework by which we look at different policies. The energy return on investment and the biohydrogen production processes will also be explored. Finally, the future of the energy system in terms of the energy transitions, the challenges, the impacts on the economy and the job market will be discussed.
