211-212. Clean Energy Technologies — The Consultancy Brief

In this session, you step into the role of a clean-energy consultancy. Your assignment: understand a renewable technology in context — what it is and how it works, where it stands across countries, and how it connects to the bigger picture.

You'll explore the main clean energy sources — solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass — along with the supporting technologies that make the transition possible, such as smart grids, energy storage, and efficiency systems, and emerging solutions like electric vehicles and green hydrogen. Using a live data room built on Eurostat and IRENA, you'll compare the energy mixes of Spain, Romania, Malta, and Moldova, and connect it all to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the European Green Deal — building toward a one-page briefing your team shares with the rest of the consultancy.
