    Welcome to the Course

    Renewable Energy is not sustainable just as it is, but we will need to take into account many aspects of the circular economy to ensure that the renewable energy we produce and storage is sustainable. This is the focus of this course. You do not need to have previous knowledge of energy storage systems or circular economy (but they will be good backgrounds). The circular economy theory is then applied to different energy storage systems. Here we consider all circular economy layers, with a focus on the material design:

    The whole course is fully online and can be taken also from other locations than Finland. The theory sessions are online videos that all students can take a look at with their own timetable. The course includes individual 4 modules, where students view videos, search and read the material and apply their learning to their own energy storage application. Additionally, there is a final project where you can select the application you apply the theory yourself.   

    The course will begin on 23rd October and the final DL for all submissions is 15th December. So you can also take the course at your own speed.

    Thus, if you are taking the course during the whole period, we propose that you follow the suggested Module DL (submission of all tasks of that module). Deadlines of each assignment is clearly mentioned and delayed submission will get -2 marks.
