The Energy and Environmental Engineering master´s programme deals with the challenge of developing products, services and technical systems towards increased resource effectiveness.
Economic development is intimately connected to availability of energy but at present, energy use generates many unwanted environmental problems such as climate change by emissions of green house gases, resource depletion and emissions of unwanted substances. However, they can all be influenced and often entirely prevented by a system level approach and pro-active engineering.
One of humanity´s major challenges for the future is to provide energy supply for the well-being and development of societies. The energy area is influenced by many rapid changes like deregulation, internationalisation and increased demands for environmentally sustainable solutions. Reduced dependence on fossil fuels through investments in renewable energy sources, improved energy efficiency and energy conservation as well as increasing collaboration between energy suppliers and users is of crucial importance in bringing the sustainable energy system objectives within reach.
Environmental management in companies and other organizations meets growing requirements from its customers, owners, own staff and authorities. This development poses new demands on the engineer. A comprehensive view on the technical systems is often necessary to develop resource efficient products and services. A successful handling of these challenges may turn environmental problems into business opportunities.
