Syllabus:	Energy is of paramount importance for sustainable development. It drives economic development and empowers the advancement of individuals and communities but its use can pose serious threats to the environment, both locally and globally. Provides an engineering perspective on the sustainable energy agenda including energy efficiency, switch to low impact energy sources (renewable, hydrogen), and clean technologies for fossil fuels. Summary review of the role of energy, both in stationary as well as mobile applications, in sustainable development, as well as the environmental merits of alternative energy sources (fossil, renewable, hydrogen). The unit's core contents are the thermodynamic underpinnings and engineering aspects of energy use in (industrial)processes and their application for enhancing energy efficiency and renewable energy use in organisations.
