Learning objectives - Knowledge
Learning objectives - Skills
Learning objectives - Competences
By the end of the course the student should be able to:
•Holistic understanding of biorefinery system value chains from biomass and renewable sources
•Design an entire biorefinery processing system from raw material to end-products.
•Optimize processing chains and set strategies for efficient process scenarios.
Content
This course will provide fundamental understanding of technologies for high value products and fuel production from biomass and other renewable sources. The students are expected to obtain understanding of a comprehensive biorefinery system and clear insights into sustainable ways of biorefining options i.e. raw material to final products within the EU and Danish strategic context toward a green transition.
Specific themes of the course will be:
•Development of conceptual process design
•Selection of building blocks and processing technologies
•Evaluating ethics, sustainability and resilience of the production
