The Master degree program 'Energy and Environmental Management - Industrial Countries' provides the necessary knowledge and skills to design the energy system required for the future. To cope with the biggest challenge of the 21st century man-made climate change we must convert 100% of the world's energy supply to renewable energy sources over the next few decades and to optimize the supply and use of energy. Both the teaching and research work within the Master program focuses on the transformation from fossil energy systems to 100% renewable energy systems in order to achieve the goal of having a maximum increase of the global average temperature of 1.5°C by the year 2050. In order to achieve this energy system models are built and measures are developed to allow for the implementation of renewable energy systems. Additionally political economy studies help to identify barriers of the transformation and to develop appropriate local solutions. In doing so we do not lose sight of the socially just and environmentally compatible perspectives in addition to the technical and economic perspectives. The possibilities of energy sufficiency and sustainability as well as the investigation of justice and gender aspects also play special role within the team’s research.
