Objective of the course
Climate change impact is a major global concern, particularly in the energy sector and several initiatives to reduce the carbon intensity are being addressed. This course provides insight into the possible technological options, resources and policy intervention—examples in India and elsewhere for a range of sectors, including challenges and results.
Syllabus
– Introduction to energy portfolio and its impact on climate change.
– Possible scenarios to reduce carbon intensity in the industrial, power, residential and transport sectors.
– Estimation of emissions, Carbon intensity calculations.
– Global and international Standards for Carbon reporting
– Scopes of emissions through life cycle analysis
– Techno- Economics related to decarbonisation technologies.
