Total E&P Limited (TEP PNG) is now offering a free online course to give Papua New Guineans an opportunity to learn about the challenges of energy transition and sustainable development for a low-carbon future. The program uses the Paris Agreement global warming scenario as its main reference. It requires only two to three hours per week for five weeks to complete the course.
The program aims to help participants to understand the technical concepts and innovation challenges of a decarbonized energy mix to mitigate the climate change impacts associated with global warming.
TEP PNG TVET Scholarship Program For Gulf Students.
