Overordnede kursusmål:
Biorefinery is a complex process/technology, which requires multidisciplinary knowledge. To get an insight in the processes, it is required to have knowledge about biomass culturing and characterisation, bioconversion processes, microbiology and life cycle analyses. The aim of the course is to give an insight in the different topics, so that a PhD student quickly can get a holistic overview of the biorefineries. The course will also involve industrial partners and includes excursions to some of the largest biorefineries in the Øresund region. The Øresund region will be in focus during the course. The course is co-organised with our Swedish partners Lund University and the Agricultural University of Sweden in Alnarp. From DTU the following departments participate: DTU Chemical Engineering and DTU Systems Biology as well as DTU Environment.
Læringsmål:
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
