MSc Programs in Energy 2022 in Lappeenranta in Finland

The future energy challenge calls for new supplies of affordable sustainable energy. Making greater use of the renewable energy systems available is a way to meet the climate change challenge while helping to secure the availability of energy supplies for us all. Bioenergy will be a significant part of clean and feasible energy systems in the future, and its use is increasing globally. When utilising bioenergy, we must ensure that it is sustainable and feasible. This Master's programme gives you skills to do this, from the feedstock of fuels to harvesting and thermal conversion to electricity and heat. During the studies, you will learn how different feedstock can be converted to electricity and heat and what requirements the fuel sets for the technology and system. In addition, you will learn how bioenergy systems work as a part of comprehensive energy systems. You will learn about energy economics and processes with respect to bioenergy systems. -

Knowledge of energy conversion is essential in designing energy systems for a sustainable future. Energy production is in transition. Energy consumption is increasing globally, and energy production currently causes significant environmental impacts from greenhouse gases to particle emissions. It is clear that we need more energy and that we need clean energy. The Master's programme in Energy Conversion gives you a comprehensive understanding of how different energy production and conversion methods relate to each other and act as components in energy systems. In this programme, you will learn to understand how different production/conversion methods are used and how they compare with each other in different applications. -
