energiteknikk

Energiteknikk, or energy technology, is a discipline focused on the production, conversion, transmission, and use of energy. It emphasizes efficiency, sustainability, and minimizing environmental impact, and it integrates electrical, mechanical, chemical, and civil engineering with environmental and economic considerations.

Core areas of energiteknikk include power generation and transmission, renewable energy technologies such as hydro, wind,

Education and research in energiteknikk typically occur within engineering faculties, offering bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs.

The field addresses global challenges including climate change, energy security, and emissions reduction. It stresses sustainable
