| Course Purpose and Objectives: |
Biotechnological production of biofuels and bioenergy focuses on the use of waste for the production of energy and fuels aiming at the reduction of environmental pollution. The course aims at understanding the basic processing of microbial fuel cells, biofuels production (bio-gas, hydrogen, bioethanol, biodiesel) and the biotechnological processing of waste towards that direction. The students will be trained on analysis, design, control and optimisation of bioprocesses for biofuels and bioenergy production, as well as, (bio) processing of waste.
|
| Learning Outcomes: |
Students will be able to: 1. Understand the concepts of biofuels and bioenenrgy. 2. Understand waste processing for biofuels and bioenergy production. 3. Understand the biotechnological processing of waste for biofuels and bioenergy production. 4. Understand the economic feasibility of biotechnological production of biofuels and bioenergy. 5. Apply simple examples of biofuels and bioenergy production.
