Energy Engineering - Energy Transition AGH University of Science & Technology

Overview

At Energy Engineering - Energy Transition from AGH University of Science & Technology as fossil fuels produce a lot of pollutants, among them CO2, and thus are made responsible for degradation of environment and climatic changes, new and modern technologies are necessary – Energy Transition.

Mission

Along these lines new specialists will be educated who do not only understand but may also apply and further develop methods which may use not only coal to produce energy but also other solid fuels, such as biomass, or alternative fuels such as shale gas. Such specialists will have knowledge in energy technologies and processes of sector’s transition.

The program focuses on modern energy technologies, with special stress laid on renewable energy, advanced clean coal technologies, gasification of coal and biomass, catalytic technologies of fuel processing, environmental protection, etc. Additionally, courses on planning and forecasting in energy systems, energy policy, sustainable energy development, renewable energy and fuel cells etc. are offered.
