Overview
The energy sector is the largest contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change. Within a critical timeframe, we need people working in different industries, governments, and fields of study to drive the transition to more sustainable, accessible, and equitable energy systems.
The Future Energy Systems X-Series consists of four online courses taught by renowned MIT faculty, researchers, and partners: Sustainable Energy, Energy Economics and Policy, Sustainable Building Design, and Transformative Living Labs in Urban Climate Action and Transportation Planning. These interdisciplinary courses include cutting- edge research from MIT and provides a multifaceted skill set that empowers learners to develop and deploy new energy technologies and solutions in diverse geo-political contexts.
