Course details
Biomass Sourcing: This unit covers the fundamental principles of biomass sourcing, including the definition, types, and classification of biomass, as well as the importance of sustainable biomass sourcing. •
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Biomass: This unit introduces the concept of LCA and its application in evaluating the environmental impacts of biomass production, processing, and use, with a focus on sustainable biomass sourcing and bioenergy. •
Sustainable Agriculture and Land Use: This unit explores the relationship between sustainable agriculture and land use practices and biomass production, including the role of agroforestry, permaculture, and regenerative agriculture in promoting sustainable biomass sourcing. •
Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS): This unit delves into the concept of BECCS, a technology that captures CO2 emissions from biomass power plants and stores them underground, making it a crucial component of a low-carbon energy mix. •
Policy and Regulation for Sustainable Biomass Sourcing: This unit examines the policy and regulatory frameworks that support sustainable biomass sourcing, including certification schemes, trade policies, and international agreements. •
Supply Chain Management for Sustainable Biomass: This unit focuses on the importance of supply chain management in ensuring the sustainability of biomass sourcing, including the role of logistics, transportation, and storage in maintaining the integrity of biomass supplies. •
Biomass Conversion Technologies: This unit covers the various biomass conversion technologies, including anaerobic digestion, gasification, and pyrolysis, and their applications in producing bioenergy and biochemicals. •
Sustainability Assessment and Certification: This unit introduces the concept of sustainability assessment and certification schemes, such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and their role in promoting sustainable biomass sourcing. •
Economic and Social Impacts of Sustainable Biomass Sourcing: This unit explores the economic and social benefits of sustainable biomass sourcing, including job creation, rural development, and improved livelihoods for small-scale farmers and rural communities. •
Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation through Sustainable Biomass Sourcing: This unit examines the role of sustainable biomass sourcing in mitigating and adapting to climate change, including the potential for biomass to sequester carbon dioxide and support climate resilience.
