Title
Green Energy for a Sustainable Future
Since 2022-2023, Garhbeta College is offering this specialized training program which is certified the College itself.
Course Duration
34 Hours
Objective
The modern civilization is dependent upon energy more than ever in the past. Staring from a small cell phone to large scale industries, all are driven by energy. The demand for energy by modern human civilization is increasing rapidly with the establishment of new metropolitan cities and large scale industries all over the world. But today’s main energy sources (fossil fuels) are finite and long-term effects of their use is detrimental for the environment. This enforces us to look for ‘green energy’ sources, such as sunlight, wind, tides, rain, waves, geothermal heat, bio-mass and bio-fuel.
This course is designed to make students aware of following:
-
• Utilization of abundant natural energy resources to reduce dependency on fossil fuels
-
• Latest technologies used to harness green energy from nature
-
• Lowering carbon emission, greenhouse gases and hence global warming in order to protect Mother Nature
-
• Business opportunities
