Aim: To give the students an introduction to the field of energy, including different energy technologies, and the coupling between energy consumption and environment. The main emphasize is on:
- Efficient utilization of the energy resources.
- Limitation of the pollution from the energy sector, especially to the atmosphere.
- Utilization of renewable energy sources.
- Anthropogenic greenhouse effect and CO2.

Contents: The course goes through a broad spectrum of possibilities in the field of energy. An outline is given over the available energy resources and the problems induced by their utilization. The energy services space heating, refrigeration, lighting, cooking and transportation are surveyed as well as different industrial processes. The possibilities for higher efficiency and the resulting lower energy consumption are examined. Energy supply systems based on biogas plants, wind turbines, solar collectors and solar cells, fuel cells and gas turbines are surveyed as well as energy storage systems. Finally important environmental consequences of the energy consumption are discussed. Both local Danish and international problems are covered, including special conditions in the developing countries.
