The overall objective of the course is to explore basic energy system economic concepts related to energy infrastructure investments, energy-environment economics and the role of indicators for sustainable development.
The participants will gain practical experience in the use of a range of economic tools and models. These include basic linear programming techniques, the economic interpretation of energy models and economic indicators relating to policy and technology scenarios.
In a group project, they will use an energy system model to map key economic indicators to sustainable development goals, and further develop their critical skills in modelling and results interpretation.
