Sustainable Energy Systems Engineering: Industry Decarbonisation – DAS

Now is the time to get your business ready for Net-Zero. As an organisation (from the public or private sector), are you ready to safeguard your competitiveness in the upcoming low-carbon economy?

Reducing CO2 emissions and optimising energy systems without compromising competitiveness is a major challenge for many industries. Given the long and heavy investment cycles involved, there is an urgent need for industrial companies to start transforming their operations by applying sustainable engineering practices today. Energy efficiency, renewable energy integration, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen use, advanced conversion technologies, water-waste-energy nexus models, urban energy system optimisation are just a few of the options available. However, a holistic approach is essential to achieve symbiosis between production sites and the circular economy. How can your company develop a systemic approach to energy efficiency and decarbonisation of industrial processes?

The Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) in Sustainable Energy Systems Engineering: Industry Decarbonisation is a unique opportunity to get ready for Net-Zero. This innovative, hands-on programme enables participants to actively engage in the transformation of an organisation’s existing industrial processes, through the implementation of decarbonisation solutions and process efficiency improvements. After completing the Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in Industry Decarbonisation programme, the participant carries out an industrial project, ideally within their employer’s organisation, while  benefiting from the expert advice of EPFL and HES-SO professors – a true win-win project for companies investing in upskilling their workforce.
