About

In the Ore Geology - in the epicenter of the fossil-free energy transition course offered by Luleå University of Technology, you will explore the basics of geology and understand how geology controls where critical metals are in the earth’s crust.

Overview

What you will study

The Ore Geology - in the epicenter of the fossil-free energy transition course offered by Luleå University of Technology covers the role of ore geology in the transition to fossil-free energy and transport systems, which means that we are moving from oil dependency to metal dependency.

Geological processes throughout the earth’s history are responsible for the current distribution of ore deposits. By understanding how these ore forming processes work, we can better explain why certain metals occur in extractable amounts in one place while being almost absent in another.

To meet the global demand of metals needed in, for example, solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries, a thorough understanding of how geological processes work is fundamental. In this course, you will be introduced to the fantastic world of the subsurface that made all the technology you take for granted possible.

Programme Structure

The program focuses on:

  • What critical metals are, where they are produced today, and what risks and challenges are involved in the supply of raw materials that drives the fossil-free energy transition.
  • Basic geology – minerals, rock types, geological structures and why they matter.
