The transition to renewable energy is essential for a sustainable future. However, without integrating circular economy principles, it risks creating new resource dependencies and environmental challenges. This course is designed for anyone seeking to drive meaningful change in the renewable energy sector (wind, photovoltaics, bioenergy, and batteries) by embedding circular economy principles into policy, strategy and industry practice.
Through real-world case studies, expert debates, and interactive discussions, you will gain a deeper understanding of critical raw material (CRM) demand and supply constraints, sustainable design, manufacturing, recycling and circular governance strategies. You will explore the environmental and economic implications of circularity, learning how to design and advocate for sustainable policies.
By the end of the course, you will be able to evaluate the sustainability of renewable energy technologies, identify circular opportunities and contribute to policy frameworks that drive the renewable energy transition. Whether you work in policy, business or engineering, this course will empower you to make informed decisions that align with long-term sustainability goals, improving your career prospects and your impact within your organization.
