S6
This course highlights the role of renewable energy technologies in building a sustainable future. It connects the science and engineering of renewables (solar, wind, biomass, hydropower, energy storage) with the broader challenges of sustainable development: reducing emissions, improving efficiency, ensuring social equity, and preserving natural resources.
Students will:
- Learn the fundamentals of key renewable energy systems.
- Understand how materials and technologies impact environmental sustainability.
- Explore the links between the energy transition and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- Analyze case studies showing how innovation in energy drives a more resilient and fair world.

This course introduces the materials essential to renewable energy technologies. It explores their properties, manufacturing processes, and applications in fields such as solar photovoltaics, wind power, biomass, and energy storage. The aim is to give students a solid understanding of the materials (semiconductors, composites, polymers, nanomaterials, bio-sources) that enable the development of sustainable energy solutions.
Through case studies and practical exercises, participants will learn to:
- Identify the key materials for each renewable energy sector.
- Link their physical and chemical properties to energy performance.
- Assess the environmental and technological challenges associated with their use.
This course bridges the gap between materials science and energy applications, preparing students to contribute to the energy transition.
