Welcome to the Web site for T206 Energy for a Sustainable Future!

We hope you will find these pages interesting and useful, whether you are:

• a student considering enrolment on the course T206, Energy for a Sustainable Future, at the UK Open University - or are already enrolled on T206;
• a past student of the predecessor course T265, Renewable Energy; or
• a reader of
  Energy Systems and Sustainability: Power for a Sustainable Future
  or
  Renewable Energy: Power for a Sustainable Future
  or
  Managing Transport Energy: Power for a Sustainable Future,
  all of which are co-published by Oxford University Press and the Open University; or
• an Internet user interested in the subject of sustainable energy in general.

The T206 Course Taster Site will take you on a tour of the course. You can choose our 'long tour' - a general overview of sustainable energy using material from Chapter 1 of Energy Systems and Sustainability or a 'short tour' of the subject. If this succeeds in whetting your appetite for more information, we hope you will consider enrolling on T206 - if you haven't already done so. Just click on the 'Course Enrolment' link at the top of each page. You can also find out about other courses in the Open University Faculty of Maths, Computing and Technology by clicking on the 'Technology' link.

The T206 Sustainable Energy Web Links Site contains many links to organisations, statistical and reference sources that you will find useful if you are studying T206 or just interested in sustainable energy.

The Renew On-Line news service, operated by NATTA, the Network for Alternative Technology and Technology Assessment, is designed to keep you up-to-date with recent developments in the renewable energy field.
