Course Description

Introduction

With improved knowledge of debt/equity ratios, credit enhancement, and end-user creditworthiness assessments, investors will be able to de-risk and increase the returns on their renewable energy investments. 

The public and private sector participants in this Course N Carry training program will get a better understanding of, and ability to develop, and apply strategies to de-carbonize energy economies based on affordable, locally sourced renewable energy sources. These tactics are essential weapons in the fight against the very real threat that climate change poses to both the current and future generations of humans. Moreover, when implemented properly, renewable energy can frequently result in cost savings for end users. For instance, in many situations today, solar energy is less expensive than traditional energy obtained from the power grid. This renewable energy source can be just as dependable as power from the grid if it has energy storage.

It will have a firm understanding of how to incorporate renewable energy consumption into the traditional energy paradigm in a way that benefits society and the environment.


Goals

The participants will gain a deeper understanding of global energy trends, an understanding of how the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is causing "intergenerational inequity" among future generations, knowledge of methods to decarbonize economies, the ability to evaluate, develop, and finance renewable energy projects on the basis of technical and financial considerations, the creation of an environment that is favorable to the scaling up of renewable energy, and the capacity to make well-informed decisions by utilising data from the best information sources in the world

Participants in this Course N Carry training course will be capable of the following by the end: 

  • Draw a distinction between the effects of climate change and the production and use of conventional energy.
  • Gain a deeper understanding of how decarbonising economies can benefit from energy efficiency, renewable energy, reducing emissions from deforestation (REDD), and carbon capture and sequestration. 
  • Perform fundamental evaluation and development of renewable energy projects. 
  • Recognise how low-carbon energy initiatives can be made possible by renewable energy laws, legislation, and procurement paradigms. 
  • Determine which finance strategy, depending on the circumstances, could best help them achieve their goals. 
  • Gain access to the greatest data collection globally to increase understanding of energy and climate change. 

Training Methodology

This training session will provide participants with comprehensive training on the subject matter, using a range of tried-and-true adult learning teaching and facilitation methodologies, along with a quick evaluation of their names, roles, and areas of interest. In addition, it includes case studies, films, interactive debates, interactive graphics, photos, charts, and references to other websites. The PowerPoint will emphasise informative graphics and be visually beautiful and captivating.

Impact of the Organization

The employees' attendance at this training course will benefit the organisation because it will enable them to contextualise their role within the larger energy and climate change domain defined by multinational organisations that have invested a great deal of time, effort, and money in creating and implementing effective strategies.

The following knowledge and skill sets can be utilised by the organisation: 

  • Evaluating the amount of carbon present in both traditional and renewable energy sources
  • Understanding how resources are transformed into electricity, heat, cooling, or other energy products using energy producing technologies 
  • Recognising the role that high-carbon resources have in intergenerational inequality and climate change 
  • Having the ability to evaluate, create, fund, and incorporate renewable energy systems 
  • being aware of the business model that would most suit their organization's needs in terms of institutional expertise, risk tolerance, and capacity to invest in renewable energy systems 
  • Utilising the laws, rules, policies, and support systems already in place to establish a climate that is favourable to low-carbon energy 
  • Gaining access to some of the greatest information available worldwide will deepen their understanding of energy and climate change and, as a result, help them make more educated decisions for their company, family, communities, and nation.

Impact on Person

Through the application of their newly acquired knowledge and skill set, the participants will be able to lead within their organisation and further their careers through moral and useful value-added. 

This training program will directly benefit the participants since it will enable them to:

  • Learn more about the energy and climate change-related technological, economic, market, policy, regulatory, environmental, and social concepts. 
  • Oversee long-term energy planning and resource management programmes that promote the prudent use of resources by diversifying portfolios and developing low-carbon plans. 
  • Examine how they "reduce the footprint" of their houses and companies by using renewable energy. 
  • Different business models for renewable energy make the most use of current resources and risk tolerance.
