Course details
Biomass Harvesting Methods: This unit covers the various techniques used for harvesting biomass, including mechanical harvesting, biological harvesting, and chemical harvesting. It also discusses the importance of sustainable harvesting practices to minimize environmental impact. •
Sustainable Biomass Production Systems: This unit focuses on the design and implementation of sustainable biomass production systems, including crop selection, soil management, and water conservation. It also explores the role of technology in improving biomass yields and reducing environmental impacts. •
Life Cycle Assessment of Biomass Systems: This unit introduces the concept of life cycle assessment (LCA) and its application to biomass systems. It covers the various stages of biomass production, processing, and use, and discusses the importance of LCA in evaluating the environmental impacts of biomass systems. •
Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS): This unit explores the concept of BECCS, a technology that captures CO2 emissions from biomass power plants and stores them underground. It discusses the potential of BECCS to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and mitigate climate change. •
Sustainable Forestry Management: This unit covers the principles and practices of sustainable forestry management, including forest ecology, silviculture, and forest products harvesting. It also discusses the importance of certification schemes, such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), in promoting sustainable forestry practices. •
Biofuels from Non-Edible Biomass Sources: This unit focuses on the production of biofuels from non-edible biomass sources, such as agricultural waste, algae, and municipal solid waste. It discusses the potential of these sources to provide sustainable biofuel alternatives. •
Policy and Regulation for Sustainable Biomass: This unit explores the policy and regulatory frameworks that support sustainable biomass development. It covers the role of government policies, international agreements, and certification schemes in promoting sustainable biomass production and use. •
Economic Analysis of Sustainable Biomass Systems: This unit introduces the principles of economic analysis and its application to sustainable biomass systems. It covers the costs and benefits of biomass production and use, and discusses the importance of economic evaluation in decision-making. •
Environmental Impacts of Biomass Systems: This unit covers the various environmental impacts of biomass systems, including air and water pollution, soil degradation, and climate change. It discusses the importance of environmental impact assessment in evaluating the sustainability of biomass systems.
