The Industrial Ecology approach for assessing the Sustainability of the Energy Transition. The aim of this MOOC is to provide a holistic but quantitative and multi-dimensional perspective on the energy transition underway today. Especially when dealing with cross sectoral linkages and circular economy, the instruments made available by the Industrial Ecology can represent a great support to researchers and practitioners and can be used to better inform policy makers.

For instance, it was already recognised that the extension and evolution of the monetary input-output analysis can provide sound scientific methodology to evaluate the impact of different sustainability policies and strategies at national, regional or interregional level. Simplified and real-life case studies will be treated with dedicated pieces of software as hands-on sessions for the attendants who will be able to master the open-source code MARIO and use it within their professional activity.

The course is structured in 3 weeks:

Week 1 – Energy within sustainable development

Week 2 – The approach of industrial ecology

Week 3 – Hands on module on industrial ecology (with tutorial)

Total workload of the course: 6 hours
