Policies for Energy & Materials Transitions (2026/2027: Periode 4)
Cursusdoel
Upon completing this course, students will be able to:
- Critically analyze and evaluate current energy and materials policies based on their effectiveness (environmental impact), efficiency (cost-effectiveness), welfare implications, and fairness.
- Analyze and understand the interactions between policy instruments and targets.
- Assess the impact of metric selection in policy design.
- Understand and analyze the mechanisms behind emission certificate auctioning.
- Apply research tools within the context of energy and material policies.
- Write and present a coherent, data-driven, and well-argued policy note addressing a real policy-relevant research question.
Vakinhoudelijk
The energy and materials system lies at the heart of a diverse set of policies with varying aims and scopes. Some policies address climate change, while others focus on energy security, pricing, energy poverty, critical materials, innovation, or systemic transformation. Policymakers face the challenge of crafting just, coherent, and well-aligned instruments that effectively achieve the targets, ambitions, and agreements embedded in these policies.
This course equips students with a deep understanding of the interplay between policies and the energy and materials system. It encourages the development of ideas for designing intelligent, consistent, and equitable policies in a complex world. The course covers climate change mitigation (e.g., emissions trading, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and circular economy policies), geopolitics (e.g., energy security and critical materials), and broad welfare effects of the energy and materials transition (green industry policy, affordability, energy poverty, and fairness). Students will gain insights into the practical design of policy instruments that steer the system toward desired outcomes.
Werkvormen
Toelichting
The course includes a carbon trading game designed to teach students the fundamentals of emissions trading and auctioning in a CO2-constrained world.
Voorbereiding
Participation in the game requires attendance at the preparation lecture. Students who miss the preparation lecture or are absent during the game will be required to complete an additional individual assignment.
LectureToelichting
The course includes two two-hour (guest) lectures per week.
ProjectToelichting
During the course, students collaborate in pairs on an assignment. The assignment content varies each year but is always connected to two or more lecture topics. Topics covered in the assignment will not be included in the exams.
TutorialToelichting
Each week, two two-hour tutorials are scheduled.
Bijdrage
For lectures associated with the assignment, the corresponding tutorial will be dedicated to kick-starting the assignment. Attendance at these tutorials is essential.
