The interdisciplinary doctoral program in “Carbon Neutrality System Science and Technology ” aims to cultivate talents with a sense of sustainable development and a consciousness of a shared human destiny. These talents will possess solid foundational knowledge in carbon neutrality, cutting-edge technological methods, forward-thinking systemic thinking, outstanding interdisciplinary innovative research capabilities, and teamwork skills. They will be adept at solving complex scientific, technological, and governance issues within carbon neutrality systems, and will be high-level, innovative, and versatile talents with international competitiveness and global competence.
Carbon neutrality encompasses a vast and complex system that includes key technologies, engineering, systems, and governance. It is a field that deeply integrates multiple disciplines. This doctoral program focuses on four areas: energy supply, energy use, system, and governance, with eight secondary disciplines including low-carbon energy and carbon removal technologies, new type of power systems, zero carbon human settlements, new energy power systems, reengineering of process industry, system engineering in carbon neutrality, carbon neutral environment, and climate governance and carbon finance. The program boasts an internationally high-level faculty team.
