Section outline

  • This module introduces the main clean energy sources, including solar, wind, bioenergy and hydropower. It emphasises their characteristics, benefits and their crucial role in ensuring energy security and combating climate change.

    Objectives:

      • 1. Explore the fundamentals of clean energy technologies.
      • 2. Understand the role of clean energy in reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
      • 3. Demonstrate the link between clean energy and the Sustainable Development Goals.
    • This lecture aims at presenting the fundamental clean energy sources and supporting technologies that are central to Europe's energy transition, providing learners with the scientific and technical foundations needed to identify and counter energy-related disinformation. Within the general architect

    • How does your country generate its electricity — and why does it matter for understanding disinformation? In this interactive session, you will explore real energy data from the four POWER partner countries (Spain, Romania, Malta, and Moldova) using Eurostat and IRENA visualisations. Compare national energy mixes, trace how the share of renewables has evolved over the past decade, and discuss which clean energy technologies are most vulnerable to disinformation — and why.
