TOP REVIEWS FROM OUR ENERGY FUTURE
Even though without scientific background, I found this course simply brilliant. Pragmatic, with much data on the future sources of energy that I hope will replace fossil fuels...
An excellent course for environmentally conscious individuals interested in the different options we have to create a 100% renewable energy future.
One of the great course I ever attended...well structured, very fruitful...definitely guided me to do something for clean energy and green environment..Thank you all professors...
It was a very helpful course! I didn't knew a lot about biofuels, so it was very complementary with the knowledge I already had about other technologies and their sustainable development.
