The aim of the course is to provide knowledge on energy transition of the transport sector and the transport of different energy forms. Legislative policies and frameworks will be discussed, and the energy demands in different energy sectors will be analysed. Students will be acquainted with the fundamental concepts of the integration of transport and other power sectors.

Student responsibilities:

Attending classes and participating in assignments. Making homeworks. Preparations of homeworks and seminars. Applying computer tools.

Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:

Continuous work through the semester by making homeworks.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):

1 . After successfully completing the course, student will be able to describe the relations between the energy, transport and society, viewed in a framework of current and future legislation.

2 . Student will be able to interpret the energy consumption trends in transport, related to the energy transition and the reduction of the impact on the environment.

3 . Student will be capable of completing a techno-economic analysis of the application of a new technology in transport sector.

4 . Student will be able to calculate the amount of individual sector's emissions, as well as the reductions of the application of new technologies.

5 . In agreement with the acquired information and the presented example, student will be able to evaluate the application of a technological solution in a particular transport sector.

6 . Student will be able to apply the examples of the presented technology analyses to other transport sectors and new technologies.
