Lead the shift towards a carbon neutral economyAccess to affordable and non-polluting energy or the implementation of measures to combat climate change and its effects are some of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals set out in the 2030 Agenda at the international level. In addition, Europe wants to be carbon neutral by 2050. And for the climate commitments of both the EU and the different states to be fulfilled, the renewable energy sector is going to grow strongly.
The latest report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) reveals that renewable energy generation has doubled between 2010 and 2019, reaching more than 2,500 gigawatts (GW); and points out that investment in renewables generated 1.5 million jobs in 2019 and projects a forecast of 6 million new jobs in the next 3 years. Only in Spain, renewables already represent more than 1% of the national GDP.
It is therefore a growing sector that will play a crucial role in job creation and that will require highly specialized professionals in renewable energies and the energy transition.
With this master's degree, you will acquire a global vision of the role of renewable energies in the current decarbonisation environment worldwide, you will have the necessary capacity to apply the knowledge acquired in technical, engineering, operation and maintenance, manufacturing, investment companies , financial, and other similar, and implement solutions based on different sources of renewable energy adapted to the needs of each case.
