This module provides renewable energy students with a comprehensive understanding of environmental management principles, practices, and regulatory frameworks relevant to the energy sector. It explores how environmental considerations are integrated into the planning, development, and operation of renewable energy projects, ensuring sustainability, compliance, and responsible stewardship of natural resources.
The course aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to evaluate environmental impacts, implement mitigation strategies, and apply environmental management systems (EMS) within the context of renewable energy technologies. Students will gain insight into global environmental challenges and how renewable energy plays a central role in achieving long-term ecological sustainability.
