brief description of the course in English
In this lecture the extent of problems our growing world population causes for its own survival will be discussed. The upcoming climate changes provide special challenges since they require a dramatic chance in the way, the driving force of all civilizations and progress, energy, is provided.
Already in about 40 years the same amount of energy (possibly even twice of it) as consumed today based on fossil fuels, must be provided CO2-free. In principle this can be implemented in as different ways as energy saving of the use of renewable energies, such as hydro, solar and wind energy. The benefits of CO2-limitation will be discussed in additionally detail.
Main principles, advantages and disadvantages, current status and trends of main kinds of renewable energetics will be discussed. A special attention will be paid to critical materials for renewable energetics.
