Our Motivation - Our Goals
The energy revolution is here and it needs experts and expertise!
Rising prices for fossil fuels and the fact that they are finite, noticeable climate change, technical developments and positive economies of scale -- all these factors will cause the renewable energy industry to continue its strong growth in the future.
There is a great need for qualified staff -- and for training and further education in this area. RENAC's program provides training for technicians, decision-makers in policy-making and administration, suppliers and students.
The success factors for the opening up of international markets are not being addressed sufficiently in Germany although the potentials for the application of renewable energy technologies in developing and newly industrialized nations are considerable! In these countries especially rural electrification at reasonable cost is an important issue and renewable energy technologies offer practicable solutions. But despite the obligations of the Kyoto Protocol, know-how transfer by technology forerunners like Germany has been unsatisfactory.
Our goal is to qualify more personnel in the areas of renewable energy and energy efficiency. RENAC's method is to provide speedy and precise training with a lasting effect, for rapid practical application. We would like to fill a part of the gap in the market in Germany for training and further education in the area of renewable energy, and to facilitate the transfer of know-how to developing and newly industrialized nations.
Berlin, a multicultural metropolis with an extensive network of relevant institutions in business, research and academia, as well as government agencies and embassies, is an ideal location for the Renewables Academy.
