Course details
Biomass Energy Production: This unit covers the fundamentals of biomass energy production, including feedstock selection, harvesting, and conversion methods, such as anaerobic digestion and gasification. •
Sustainable Biomass Supply Chain Management: This unit focuses on the importance of sustainable biomass supply chain management, including sourcing, logistics, and certification schemes, such as the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB). •
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, making it a negative emissions technology. •
Advanced Biofuels: This unit delves into the production of advanced biofuels, including cellulosic ethanol, algal oil, and other low-carbon fuels, and their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. •
Biogas Production and Utilization: This unit covers the production of biogas from organic waste and its utilization as a renewable energy source, including its use in transportation, heating, and power generation. •
Sustainable Forestry Practices: This unit emphasizes the importance of sustainable forestry practices, including reforestation, afforestation, and selective logging, to maintain ecosystem services and biodiversity. •
Bio-based Products: This unit explores the production of bio-based products, such as bioplastics, biochemicals, and biofuels, and their potential to replace traditional fossil-based products. •
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Biomass Systems: This unit introduces the concept of LCA, a method to assess the environmental impacts of biomass systems, including greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and land use changes. •
Policy and Regulation for Sustainable Biomass: This unit examines the policy and regulatory frameworks for sustainable biomass, including incentives, taxes, and standards, to promote the development of a low-carbon biomass industry. •
International Cooperation and Trade in Sustainable Biomass: This unit discusses the importance of international cooperation and trade in sustainable biomass, including certification schemes, trade agreements, and market development initiatives.
