In this course we discuss the industrial energy system, the identified demand and the technologies to provide this energy within boundary conditions (technology, legal, strategic, etc.). Strategies to decarbonise this system by energy efficiency measures as well the integration of renewables are assessed in terms of the potential for the energy system transition towards a maximum sustainability.
