Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. However the world is faced with the dilemma that the demand for material and energy has never been greater yet current supplies are predominantly dependent on dwindling natural resources. The extraction and use of fossil fuels, and the resulting emissions of carbon, has had major impacts on habitats, climate and biodiversity. Currently there is an enormous global challenge to reverse these trends and to develop sustainable development models that have minimum impact on the environment.
In the next 25 years Ireland will have to move to society where energy systems are rooted in local green electricity, exporting to Europe; where buildings, industries and communities will have close to zero carbon emissions; where carbon neutral transport systems will be supplied from green electricity and biofuels; where Ireland becomes a major centre in sustainable technologies and where all buildings are at least energy self-sufficient.
This course provides students with the knowledge and skills to help achieve these goals. Students will obtain practical skills on how to monitor energy use, implement energy efficiency systems and promote the use and re-use of renewable energy sources, including the use of biofuels in industry, commercial and public organizations. |
