Mandatory prerequisites

You must have completed at least two years of studies in chemical engineering, environmental engineering or environmental science.

Learning objectives - Knowledge

By the end of the course the student will have acquired: 
•A fundamental understanding of biorefinery system status and processing technologies.  
•Understanding of technological potentials and obstacles of biorefinery system
•Understanding of potential building blocks from raw materials 
•Fundamentals of various pretreatment technologies.  

Learning objectives - Skills

By the end of the course the student should: 
•Ability to mathematical, chemical and engineering computational analysis.  
•Apply mathematical, chemical and engineering computation to calculate mass and

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

Additional information

Enrollment is limited to 15 students. If more applicants than places, applicants who meet the mandatory requirements are prioritised according to the below selection criteria:
  1. Undergraduate and graduate students from partner universities (exchange); international undergraduate and graduate guest students (fee-paying); undergraduate and graduate students from other Danish universities. 
  2. Ph.D students from partner universities and other international Ph.D. students; other applicants. 

Students are prioritised on a first come, first served basis, i.e. according to the time we receive your complete application. 

In case a course is filled up, we try to offer you an alternative course from your list of priorities. All final decisions about admission will be sent out continually.
