Sessional Lecturer - GLA2075H Navigating the Global Energy Transition: Technology, Markets & Policy

$10k per year

University of Toronto

Description:

Course number and title: GLA2075H: Navigating the Global Energy Transition: Technology, Markets and Policy

Course description: 

Governments and industry have set an extremely ambitious goal of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions from today’s level of around 50 billion tonnes per year towards net-zero by 2050. This course will look at whether and if so, how, these goals can be achieved while remaining grounded in a real world technology, economic and geopolitical context.  We will begin by grounding the class in hard data from the IEA World Energy Outlook and other major climate and energy forecasts, then stress-test “business-as-usual” energy and emissions forecasts against various net-zero scenarios.

With a common fact base established, weekly modules dissect the technology, economics, supply-chain constraints and policy levers behind the most deployable decarbonisation tools, including advanced solar and wind renewables, small-modular nuclear reactors, geothermal, battery storage, grid optimization, hydrogen and power-to-X fuels, heat-pumps, carbon capture, methane abatement. Students will learn to read levelized cost tables and cost curves and to translate “green-premium” gaps into policy instruments such as contracts-for-difference, tax credits and loan guarantees.

Throughout, we confront emerging shocks such as the war in Ukraine or AI-driven data-centre loads, and evaluate how they reshape the economic and policy landscape. Case-study workshops will pair global models with national realities in China, India, the EU and North America, while guest practitioners will illustrate how new technologies and policy instruments are actually being deployed.
