Course details
Biomass Resources and Feedstocks: This unit covers the various sources of biomass, including agricultural waste, forestry residues, and aquatic plants, as well as the characteristics of different feedstocks and their potential uses. •
Sustainable Biomass Production Systems: This unit focuses on the design and implementation of sustainable biomass production systems, including crop selection, soil management, and irrigation systems, to minimize environmental impacts. •
Energy Conversion and Utilization: This unit explores the different methods of converting biomass into energy, including combustion, anaerobic digestion, and gasification, as well as the use of biofuels and biopower. •
Environmental Impacts and Emissions: This unit assesses the environmental impacts of biomass production and use, including greenhouse gas emissions, air and water pollution, and soil degradation, and discusses strategies for mitigating these impacts. •
Policy and Economic Frameworks: This unit examines the policy and economic frameworks that support sustainable biomass management, including incentives for biomass production and use, and the role of international agreements and standards. •
Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS): This unit focuses on the technology of capturing and storing CO2 emissions from biomass power plants, and discusses the potential of BECCS to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. •
Sustainable Biomass Management in Agriculture: This unit explores the role of biomass in sustainable agriculture, including the use of cover crops, crop residues, and other agricultural waste as biomass feedstocks. •
Bio-based Products and Chemicals: This unit discusses the production of bio-based products and chemicals from biomass, including bioplastics, biochemicals, and biofuels. •
