Aims
a) Analyse energy related greenhouse gas (GHGs).
b) Form a critical appreciation of, and interconnections between, Minority World and Majority World energy demand, provision and resource availability.
c) Analyse and develop scenarios of future global energy provision and demand in short, medium and long-term contexts.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate a critical understanding of key aspects of global energy provision and demand in the context of GHG emissions.
2.
Critically appraise selected technological and resource availability challenges of future global energy provision and demand management under a transformational adaptation ethos.
3.
Critically appraise the justice and responsibility impacts of extraction, manufacture, transport, use, end of life outcomes, and social change, in relation to selected energy provision technologies and demand management strategies.
4.
Systematically analyse future global energy provision and demand projections and synthesise relationships between the economics of the energy transition and its environmental and social impacts.
5.
Systematically analyse evidence and synthesise relationships between present and future global energy provision and demand.
