Energy Economics: Energy Consumption

DTU Management

Overall Course Objectives

The energy transition is taking place rapidly in the face of urgent needs for climate change mitigation, supply security, and decarbonization. Energy consumption is a critical issue for energy transition and society, as it impacts a wide range of aspects, including economic growth, climate change, decarbonization, environmental sustainability, supply security and human health. Energy is essential for a variety of functions, including running homes and the operation of industries, and transportation. The efficient use of energy and the adoption of sustainable energy sources are crucial for reducing the adverse effects of energy consumption and promoting sustainable development. Therefore, there is a need for educated human resources that do research and develop policies in this area. The Energy Economics PhD summer schools will take a role in teaching how to use economic theory, energy modeling, and computational tools for research to address these contemporary global challenges.
The course will provide a platform for students to present their research topics, discuss their ideas with scholars and receive feedback. Students will receive help from and discuss their ideas with senior researchers and other Ph.D. students who are accepted to the course.
