About the Course
The course gives a wide perspective on the energy topic in terms of large-scale production, utilization and global environmental impact, as well as tools to assess and direct energy use and technology design. Main topics of the course are:

Fossil fuel energy systems and resources
Bio energy
Nuclear energy
Transportation energy

The course also includes an essay writing task on an individually chosen energy system subject, where the writing should be in popular scientific style and include references to scientific and other adequate literature. It can be noted that renewable energy is dealt with only marginally in this course; that subject is treated more in other, supplementary courses in the study program on Energy systems.
