Master's program in Advanced Energy Solutions - Industrial Energy Processes and Sustainability | Master's degree | Engineering & Technology | On Campus | 2 years | Aalto University | Finland

Interested in a career in energy for our society? Want to be involved in the development of industrial energy solutions of the future? The Master’s program in Advanced Energy Solutions may be the perfect match for you. This major offers basic and advanced understanding of the industrial energy processes, main challenges the energy solutions in industry are facing today, and introduces possible ways towards a sustainable future. There is an ongoing transition towards sustainable energy which combines smartness, flexibility and environmental performance with a customer acceptance and engagement. New energy system will be a complex combination of central and local resources. This calls for new thinking of primary sources, production, markets, transmission, use and customers as producer-consumers (prosumers). The program has four majors. In each of them, You will be provided a solid theoretical background, complemented with interdisciplinary studies to broaden and deepen the understanding of energy challenges in our society. The major Industrial Energy Processes and Sustainability will address fundamental chemical engineering knowledge and unit operations involved in chemical processes integrated to energy storage, energy conversion, process automation, recycling technologies and sustainability. This includes thermodynamics, mass and energy balances on reacting systems, chemical equilibria, chemical kinetics, catalysis, role of interphase and intraphase heat and mass transfer. Modelling and simulation has an important role in the analysis and design of energy processes. The program can be completed entirely in English. Some courses can be taken in Finnish or Swedish.
