Course content
Bioenergy is seen as an important component in a future sustainable energy system. The course shall provide an in-depth understanding of technological, environmental, legal and resource consequences related to bioenergy and give insight into the entire bioenergy supply chain; supply and characteristics of biomass resources, bioenergy conversion technologies, environmental impacts and juridical and financial conditions.
Emphasis will be placed on availability and characteristics of biomass supply and bioenergy conversion technologies, such as combustion, heat and power generation, gasification and pyrolysis. There will also be emphasise on the importance of thorough and consistent profitability assessments for project realisation.
The course is a collaboration with NTNU and UMB. The lectures will be held as video conferences, where about half of the lecturers will be transmitted from UMB.
Learning outcome
The course shall give the students an understanding of bioenergy systems and their potential in future energy supply. Students shall be able to work with cross-cutting problems and planning processes linked to the establishment of bioenergy facilities. This implies being able to analyse, synthesise and present knowledge from such fields as technology, environment, economics and law.
