Overview
Key facts
Through a multi-national collaboration, this course aims to introduce a redefined perspective of fuel utilisation for the power and transportation sectors, placing emphasis on alternative fuels derived from renewable resources that are essential contributors to the goals of carbon neutrality. Some of the low or zero-carbon fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, biofuels and emerging low carbon fuels adaptable to current or new energy systems will be explored in the context of production, utilisation, economics and sustainability. The impacts of future fuels on the environment, resource availability and social well-being need to be holistically considered and supported by diverse solutions, in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals of Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7) and other related SDGs as put forth by the United Nations. From Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Net Zero-Carbon Fuels course, the students will grasp the broad concept of alternative fuel production, application and challenges faced in moving towards a net zero-carbon society.
