Renewable energy's future is bright, yet uncertain. Will it continue to grow rapidly? Is current growth sufficient to achieve climate stabilization? How do related technologies, like electric vehicles and heat pumps, fit in? This course will shed light on the many confusing and at-times inconsistent claims and predictions for renewable energy.
We’ll review promising new renewable technologies and approaches, such as floating platforms for wind turbines and building-integrated photovoltaics (PV), and point out key opportunities and limitations. We’ll take a close look at possible futures of enabling technologies such as electricity storage, electric vehicles and hydrogen, which can support and enhance renewables. We’ll then unravel key trends and new approaches, such as distributed energy and electrification, and explain how they affect renewable energy’s future. Renewable energy, aided by enabling technologies such as electric vehicles and storage, will eventually dominate energy systems worldwide. From this course, you’ll learn the current status and likely future paths of renewable energy. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to pinpoint the opportunities in this vibrant industry and get in front of the change.

I found this course quite interesting and helpful in learning the basics of renewable energy. I find it is as easy course and quite relaxing to take it, but at the same time I found the information well structured with lots of resources available. I completed the course in 2025 therefore the information was not really up to date, as the renewable energy domain has developed quite fast the last few years, however it was a good course that helped me fill some gaps in my current role as a Junior Project Manager within a Renewable Energy company which develops Utility Scale Wind Power Projects. All in all, I was satisfied with the course and I will for sure return to watch some videos and explore more of the resources put at our disposal.
This course offered a compelling deep dive into the future of energy systems, exploring the transition to renewables with clarity and vision. From solar and wind technologies to grid integration and policy frameworks, every module was thoughtfully designed and highly relevant to today's energy challenges. I especially appreciated the emphasis on sustainability, innovation, and the global perspective on energy equity. A must-take for anyone passionate about shaping a cleaner, smarter energy future!
A course full of valuable information, very well structured, and explained in a pleasant way. It illustrates the current situation of various renewable energies and envisoin its future based on different scenarios studied by specialized agencies. The instructor's point of view is a valuable plus. I recommend it for those who want to see beyond the present in this highly promising field.
A great follow up course to the Renewable Power and Electricity Systems course and introduced me to a variety of renewable energy futures that I had not yet been fully introduced to. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in this field to or if you simply want to better understand how energy might work in the future.
Absolutely awesome course, I learnt a tonne of interesting stuff. I think this will be very useful for my career going forward. Thanks to all the instructors, absolutely great material and teaching overall. Vito
