Zeroemissions and EOI Business School offer an Advanced Course in Renewable Energies

The aim for these new technologies within the European context is that they provide 20% of the energy consumed by 2020

The renewable energies sector is set to become the main vector of economic growth over the next few years. It brings together the needs for energy independence, environmental protection and the reduction of greenhouse gases. The aim for these new technologies within the European context is that they provide 20% of the energy consumed by 2020. The USA and the main emerging economies are also preparing similar plans within this global effort.

Andalucia is presently leading in the exploitation of renewable resources as it already has over a thousand companies in the sector, some of which are pioneers in national and international markets in these technologies. Those professionals who build their careers around them will form part of this third industrial revolution.

This course is aimed at all those professionals with experience in energy or environmental companies, as well as those who wish to enter this sector or up-date or expand their knowledge about the development of renewable energies. The most important feature of this course is that it is full of practical training in real experiences and situations that completes the students’ theoretical studies.

Apart from Zeroemissions and EOI Business School other institutions are also collaborating in the development of this course, such as the Andalusian Energy Agency, Endesa or the Institute of Industrial Engineers of Andalucia.

The programme has 200 hours of lessons spread over the different modules that cover aspects such as the energy context and regulation, energy from biomass, thermal energy, biofuels and electricity; mini-hydraulic and wind energy and solar energy in its thermal and photovoltaic aspects.

At the same time the course will be completed by a series of visits to diverse facilities to analyse the latest technological developments that have been developed in the different types of renewable energies.
