Introduction to Renewables

As a planet, we are consuming energy at a faster rate than we can replenish it. Fossil fuels are a finite resource formed over millions of years and are non-renewable. They have served us well but are running out fast and destroying our planet through ever increasing CO2 emissions. It is time for clean energy.

This short course aims to introduce the core principles of renewable energy, outline the various types of renewable energy available today and look forward to future green energies. It will also look at the best options for home application.

Fully Funded. Light refreshments will be provided.
