The course 'Sustainable materials and energy' has the following learning objectives:
- the student is able to get insight into energy as a general concept and its relationship with atom efficiency in the context of sustainable materials and energy
- the student is able to understand how green and circular chemistry (based on 12 principles of green chemistry and 10 principles of circular chemistry) can contribute to novel developments in sustainable materials, devices, and energy conversion and storage processes
- the student is able to use standard methodology to evaluate the life cycle and sustainability of a material or energy process and is able to compare and interpret those results on a system level
- the student has the knowledge of methodologies to incorporate "end-of-life" concepts to be applied in sustainable materials
Module 1: introduction sustainability
- a general introduction starting from energy as a physical concept, energy conversion and energy requirement and supply in the context of the global sustainablility challenge and the circularity of materials
- sustainability as concept, sustainable development goals (SDG’s), 3P and genest 3P model, donut economy, definition of wicked problems
- 12 principles of green chemistry and 10 principles of circular economy and their applications
- system thinking and stakeholder analysis
Module 2: life cycle analysis (LCA)
- introduction LCA, with emphasis on different LCA methodologies and conditions
- the role of LCA in evaluation of sustainable materials and energy
Module 3: case studies and debate
-
overview of energy technologies and renewable materials with emphasis on sustainability challenge
-
state of the art
-
emerging developments
-
seminar series with the link to the 12 principles of green chemistry and 10 principles of circular economy

|
| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | The student is required to be present and to have actively contributed to the debate as evaluation is linked to this.The student is required to submit the mini-essay. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | If the student is unjustifiedly absent during the debate or did not submit the mini-essay because of an unjustified reason, he/she will receive an 'N' for the entire course as a final result ('N' = evaluation not fully completed: unjustified absence for one or more components of the evaluation). |
|
|
|
| Additional information | For students with exam contract, the debate in the teaching period will be replaced by an alternative, individual assignment in the exam period and the mini-essay during the teaching period will be replaced by submitting a mini-essay during the exam period. |
|
Second examination period
| Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt | |
|
| Explanation (English) | The mini-essay and written exam can be retaken. The debate cannot be retaken. |
