This is done in the context of the origin, production, processing, and economics of carbon-based resources and of climate change issues. After this course, students are familiar with relevant technical and non-technical issues related to the use of carbon resources, climate change, and CCUS as a mitigation measure. The class will be structured in 2 hours of lecture and one hour of exercises/discussion. | |||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | The transition to a net-zero society is associated with major challenges in all sectors, including energy, transportation, and industry. In the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C, rapid emission reduction and negative emission technologies are crucial to limiting global warming to below 1.5 °C. Therefore, this course illuminates carbon capture, utilization, and storage as a potential set of technologies for emission mitigation and for generating negative emissions. | |||||||||||||||||

| 103-0448-01L | Transformation of Urban Landscapes Nur für Master-Studierende, ansonsten ist eine Spezialbewilligung des Dozierenden notwendig. | W | 3 KP | 2G | J. Van Wezemael, A. Gonzalez Martinez | |||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | The lecture course addresses the transformation of urban landscapes towards sustainable inward development. The course reconnects two largely separated complexity approaches in «spatial planning» and «urban sciences» as a basic framework to look at a number of spatial systems considering economic, political, and cultural factors. Focus lies on participation and interaction of students in groups. | |||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | - Understand cities as complex adaptive systems - Understand planning in a complex context and planning competitions as decision-making - Seeing cities through big data and understand (Urban) Governance as self-organization - Learn Design-Thinking methods for solving problems of inward development - Practice presentation skills - Practice argumentation and reflection skills by writing critiques - Practice writing skills in a small project - Practice teamwork | |||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Starting point and red thread of the lecture course is the transformation of urban landscapes as we can see for example across the Swiss Mittelland - but in fact also globally. The lecture course presents a theoretical foundation to see cities as complex systems. On this basis it addresses practical questions as well as the complex interplay of economic, political or spatial systems. While cities and their planning were always complex the new era of globalization exposed and brought to the fore this complexity. It created a situation that the complexity of cities can no longer be ignored. The reason behind this is the networking of hitherto rather isolated places and systems across scales on the basis of Information and Communication Technologies. «Parts» of the world still look pretty much the same but we have networked them and made them strongly interdependent. This networking fuels processes of self-organization. In this view regions emerge from a multitude of relational networks of varying geographical reach and they display intrinsic timescales at which problems develop. In such a context, an increasing number of planning problems remain unaffected by either «command-and-control» approaches or instruments of spatial development that are one-sidedly infrastructure- or land-use orientated. In fact, they urge for novel, more open and more bottom-up assembling modes of governance and a «smart» focus on how space is actually used. Thus, in order to be effective, spatial planning and governance must be reconceptualised based on a complexity understanding of cities and regions, considering self-organizing and participatory approaches and the increasingly available wealth of data. | |||||||||||||||||

| 151-0254-00L | Environmental Aspects of Future Mobility Note: previous course title in FS20 "Environmental Aspects of IC-Engines" | W | 4 KP | 2V + 1U | Y. Wright, P. Dimopoulos Eggenschwiler | |||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | The course describes and assesses the environmental performance of current and future mobility/transportation and transformation pathways towards sustainability. It focuses in particular on the future role of renewable synthetic chemical energy carriers from a technology point of view. | |||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The students understand the systemic nature of current and future mobili-ty/transportation systems and are able to elaborate solutions for the defossiliza-tion of the sector. At the end of the course they should be capable to assess alter-native technologies for the different subsectors for transport of people and freight including the “upstream” energy supply processes for different energy carriers. | |||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | Mobility system structure, future demand trends for the various sectors (people, freight, off-road, marine, aviation) and appropriate energy carriers per application. Basic characteristics of the currently most promising energy carrier concepts: Li-Ion Batteries, Hydrogen and synthetic fuels. Methods for producing renewable en-ergy carriers (electrolysis, methanation/synthesis of higher hydrocarbons etc.) and related infrastructure requirements. For internal combustion engines (ICE), which will continue to be used in sectors difficult to electrify (marine, off-road, heavy-duty long-haul freight transport), dif-ferent combustion modes and their respective pollutant emission formation mechanisms are presented and in-cylinder emission minimization methods for conventional and renewable fuels are discussed. Exhaust gas aftertreatment for combustion engines and atmospheric immissions are finally presented in view of near-zero emission powertrain concepts. Basic environmental assessment of the introduced concepts. | |||||||||||||||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Due to the wide range of material covered, this course requires basics of thermo-dynamics/cycles, turbulent flows as well as combustion concepts (laminar and tur-bulent premixed and non-premixed flames). Ideally a combination of 151-0293-00L "Combustion and Reactive Processes in Energy and Materials Technology", where background on reactive processes is provided, and, 151-0251-00L "Princi-ples, efficiency optimization and future applications of IC engines", where thermo-dynamic cycles and combustion modes in internal combustion engines are dis-cussed. | |||||||||||||||||
