Module Learning Objectives and Skill Acquisition

This module consists in three parts. The first deals with basic concepts in energy economics as the distribution of sources and consumption patterns at the geographical level, the analysis of demand and supply of different energy sources and the use of energy by sectors. World energy outlook scenarios are commented under the lens of scenario building approaches. The second part allows students gathering main analytical tools to consider jointly energy issues and climate change impacts and policies. The economic analysis of policy impacts over the long term and burden sharing issues in the international bargaining process are also analysed. The third part provides elements of the three pillars forming the EU long-term sustainable energy strategy, with emphasis on clean energy technologies, emission trading scheme and green finance.
