Renewable Energy Engineering
Introduction
Climate change is perhaps the biggest challenge of our time. Renewable technologies will be pivotal in transitioning the world from fossil fuels to a clean energy supply while providing cheap electricity.
Worldwide, jobs in the renewable energy sector have grown from 7 million in the year 2012 to 14 million in 2022 () and are expected to grow further to 100 million by 2030 ().
You can be part of this exciting change. Build your skills and knowledge in renewable energy resources and technologies for generation, conversion, and storage, as well as in broader energy systems, policy, energy, and society.
Renewable Energy Engineering in Aotearoa New Zealand
New سԹhas a primary energy mix of approximately 40% renewables and 60% fossil fuels, making it an exciting country to study options for transitioning to a more sustainable energy system. Over 80% of our electricity is presently produced from renewables, which is a good start.
Researchers at UC are actively engaged in sustainable energy projects worldwide, including Pacific Island nations.
