Introduction
As the world and technology grow, an array of new energy options appears to support critical foundations for enduring prosperity, energy security, and the protection of the environment and public health as the energy demand increases. Energy transition and innovation policy can fill the pipeline with many energy technologies options, bring the best of these options to market, and unleash the full power of the innovative solutions in driving down the energy prices. Energy is profoundly a technology business, so it pays to understand which policies best stimulate energy technology innovation and transition towards renewable energy sources without unnecessarily politicizing the energy debate.
One of the future's greatest challenges is finding the solution to determinants of energy demand through the sustainable generation and use of energy. Providing a reliable supply of affordable, safe, and clean energy requires answering complex and significant technical, social, political, economic, legal, and ethical questions, which appear often in combination, to ensure sustainable energy supply, use, and development.
This Energy Transition and Innovation training course is designed to build capacity through the development of new knowledge, new understanding, and new insights, and can therefore provide effective solutions to complex problems in the energy of the future.
