- Comprehension of the importance of production processes and energy consumption in the economics carbon intensity - Knowledge of the role of the production processes and energy consumption in the transition to decarbonized energetic systems. - Comprehension of the main determinants of climate change mitigation related to the production and use of energy (technologic and behavioural factors) as well as the method s for its identification. - Knowledge of the role and relevance that different energetic technologies can play in the climate change mitigation, with special thoughtfulness on electric generation technologies and, within these, renewable technologies. - Grasp of fundamental concepts of the economy of renewable energies that allow students to identify its benefits and costs in the context of the decarbonized energetic transition. - Profound knowledge of the public policies that support the decarbonized energetic transition, with emphasis on the promotion of energetic efficiency and renewable technologies in the electric generation system. - Ability to compare policies and instruments to detect their advantages, inconveniences, and applicability in different contexts. - Comprehension of the functioning of institutions and global governance mechanisms related to the energetic transition.

- The energy transition and climate change: the contribution of energy to climate change and climate change mitigation. - Use and production of energy: the role of technological and behavioral change in climate mitigation. - Renewable energy technologies.
