Throughout the human history, energy has always been critical for development. However in the 21st century, the energy industry is undergoing a particularly transformational change along three axes- climate change and decarbonization, digitization, and shifting geopolitics of fossil fuels. This course will teach students how to quantitatively analyze the economics and environmental impact of different energy technologies such as coal power, gas power, renewable energy, nuclear power, oil, and electric vehicles. The course will also equip the students with qualitative and quantitative tools for analyzing country/regional energy security, geopolitical trends and scenario development. Finally, the course will inform the students about possible career paths in the private, public, and non-profit sectors as well as provide networking opportunities with Minnesota based energy/environmental professionals.
