Master Sustainable Energy Technology

Jim Kok

Why would you choose for the master Sustainable Energy

Technology?

To become a member of a new generation of engineers that will lead the

renewable energy revolution!

You will become the expert to respond the global energy challenge

The Global Energy Challenge

1. Climate Change

2. Security of energy supply

3. Sustainability and renewable resources

World energy consumption increases tremendously
