What is the New Green Technologies Course?
This short course prepares you to understand, compare and introduce the green technologies that are reshaping industry, ports and shipping. You will study the foundations of technological sustainability, from ecological transition, decarbonisation and the circular economy to the criteria used to judge a green technology's maturity, impact, viability and scalability; clean energy, including emerging renewables, the electrification of processes, energy storage with batteries, supercapacitors, thermal systems and hydrogen, smart grids and microgrids; sustainable materials, circular design, advanced recycling and industrial symbiosis; and green technologies for water, air and soil, together with environmental sensors, IoT, telemetry and digital monitoring platforms.
What sets this course apart: real case studies of green technology projects from around the world; a practical focus on assessing, selecting and implementing sustainable solutions rather than describing them; a cross-sector view that links energy, materials, water, air and digital monitoring; clear evaluation criteria covering technology readiness, environmental impact, cost and compatibility with existing infrastructure; and an integrative project in which you select, evaluate and plan the implementation of a green technology for a real or simulated application.

Questions about the New Green Technologies Course
By replacing fossil energy with renewables, electrifying processes, storing and managing energy more efficiently, using low-carbon and recyclable materials and monitoring emissions so that they can be cut where it matters most.
The technologies are presented with a cross-sector view, and examples include ports and shipping. What you learn applies to industry, energy, ports, logistics and public services alike.
Yes. The clean energy module covers batteries, supercapacitors, thermal storage and hydrogen, together with smart grids, microgrids and the integration of generation, storage and consumption.
The course gives you criteria to judge technology readiness, environmental impact, economic viability, scalability and compatibility with existing infrastructure, and you apply them in the final project with a CAPEX and OPEX assessment.
No. A background in environmental sciences, engineering, energy or chemistry helps, but the course starts from the fundamentals, and the admission interview will confirm that it fits your profile.
You choose a real or simulated environmental or energy problem, compare green technology alternatives, design a solution and prepare its technical, economic and environmental assessment and implementation plan.
Fully online, through a virtual campus available 24/7, with discussion forums, live sessions that are recorded and personalized tutorials with the teaching staff.
The course comprises 300 hours of study across 5 modules of about 60 hours each and ends with an integrative project. You can progress at your own pace within the schedule set when you enroll.
