Working together for a safer green energy transition.
A new postgraduate safety course invites students — whatever their academic background — to learn how to mitigate green energy’s complex risks.
The shift to environmentally friendly energies also opens up new questions about how to make this new industrial environment safe. New research-relevant challenges arise from those technologies that involve hydrogen and other flammable gases and reactive material such as batteries, etc. In order to properly understand these new risks and take into account environmental, economic and social interests, different disciplines need to be brought together. In research and in the Master’s programme “Safety and Disaster Management”, we make contributions to prepare in the best possible way for the new risks of climate change and the energy transition.
