    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:

    This course contains theory sessions in online videos that all students can take a look at with their own timetable. This course also includes 5 contact sessions containing  Introduction, three poster sessions and final Eco design presentation session (there is a final group project where you can select the application of your choice ). Video session includes individual 3 modules, where students view videos, search and read the material and apply their learning to their own energy storage application. 

    The course will begin on 25th October and the final project's DL  is 7th December. Deadlines of each assignment is clearly mentioned and delayed submission will get -3 marks. "Active participation for the contact session is a requirement to pass the course (only one session can be missed)."
