Learning outcomes
The students will learn the importance of energy consumption for environment, especially for its CO2 emissions, the main cause of climate change. They will understand the challenge engineers have ahead in facing the dichotomy between growing energy consumption, that will rely still for long on fossil fuels, and the urgency to stop CO2 emission growth. The course will discuss the Kyoto Protocol of 1997 and the COP 21 Agreement of Paris of 2015. They will learn the main tools so far adopted like white certificates, CO2 emission trading mechanisms and externalities evaluation. All this will be achieved also through class exercises.
