Introduction to Energy Transition – Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)
About this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)
As the most abundant greenhouse gas in our atmosphere, CO2 levels have risen from a pre industrial baseline of 280 ppm to ~410 ppm leading to a rise in average global temperatures at a rate unprecedented in geological past.
The use of energy represents by far the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities globally. About two-thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions are linked to burning fossil fuels for energy to be used for heating, electricity, transport and industry. A rapid decarbonization of our energy system has therefore become increasingly urgent, leading to a whole spectrum of activity collectively known as the “Energy Transition”.
This VILT course will cover climate science (do we actually have an issue?), what can be done about it (The energy transition) and what enablers and conditions are required make the transition successful. Given the stark and clear conclusion of the IPCC’s 6th assessment report in the run up to COP26 in Glasgow later this year, measures to mitigate climate change will affect all of us as employees as well as consumers. This VILT course will give you the knowledge to understand what is coming and how to respond and be part of the solution.
