Clean Energy - Market and the Opportunities - One Day Course

Overview

This one-day Short Course will look at the present and the future architecture of energy including sources, financial viability, technologies and scalability. Opportunities in the short, medium and long term will be discussed. Drawing from Seba's real-life clean energy entrepreneurial experience, as well as case studies, examples, and frameworks developed for his Stanford course and his recently published book Solar Trillions - 7 Market and Investment Opportunities in the Emerging Clean-Energy Economy, we analyse opportunities in the build-out of the clean energy economy over the next four decades.
