E-Course 703 Energy Systems Integration: the Future of Transport
Instructor: Dr. Johan Diesen and Mr. Peter Van Den Heede
The transportation sector is at a crossroads. As one of the biggest consumers of the world’s energy and a major contributor to CO2 emissions and air pollution, the onus is on the transport sector to find alternative energy solutions to drive a sustainable future for all. In this certification, you will learn about the electrification of the transportation system and how this development affects the overall energy system. You will hear crucial insights about business models and regulations impacting electric vehicles. Finally, you’ll explore the needs of an urban transport system, including charging infrastructure. This is a self-paced online course. Certification assessment: Take an online exam covering topics from all of the component lessons within the certification. Successful completion of the Certification Assessment (earning 75%) will earn you a Certificate of Accomplishment for this certification.TECHNOLOGY FOCUS
