Renewable Energy Technologies

Summary
The potential of renewable energy sources is enormous as they can in principle meet many times the world�s energy demand. Renewable energy sources such as biomass, wind, solar, hydropower, and geothermal can provide sustainable energy services, based on the use indigenous resources. The development and use of renewable energy sources can enhance diversity in energy supply markets, contribute to securing long term sustainable energy supplies, help reduce local and global atmospheric emissions, and provide commercially attractive options to meet specific energy service needs, particularly in rural areas helping to create new employment opportunities there. The aim the proposed course is to give an overview of potential of Renewable Energy Resources, Energy Conversion Technologies, Environmental Considerations and Evaluation of Benefits and Energy Efficiency. The main topics of the course will be Solar Energy, Biomass and Biogas Energy, Bio-fuels, Hydro and Wind Energy. The participant will study potential and use of Indigenous Energy resources and conversion technologies in Baltic States and Nordic Countries. Course readings After course is finished, course readings may be available upon request from course leader or BOVA coordinator at Lithuanian University of Agriculture Minvydas Liegus ([email protected]) or Alvidas Sarlauskas at BOVA secretariat ([email protected]).
