- Give knowledge of current and emerging technologies for
conversion of biomass to energy carriers, such as biogas,
biodiesel, bioethanol, biohydrogen, or direct conversion to
electricity and heat.
- Give an overview of biomass resources, availability of biomass
(wastes, industrial and agricultural residues), and potential for
conversion of biomass to energy.
- Give perspectives for utilisation of biomass to bioenergy
production at national and global level, as well as the
sustainability of the utilisation technologies.
- Give insight to the most important biotechnological and
thermochemical methods for bioenergy/biofuels production. Both
theoretical knowledge(through lectures and project work) and
practical experience (through lab-experiments – project) will be
achieved. A field trip to a biofuel plant will couple the
theoretical learning with the real applications.
Læringsmål:
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
Beskrive hovedtyper af biomasse, beregne bioenergi potentiale
fra biomasse egenskaber og design bioomdannelse metoder til
udnyttelse af bestemte former for biomasseressourcer
Beskrive principperne for bio-kemiske processer til
fremstilling af energi fra biomasse, såsom biogas, biodiesel,
biobrint, bioethanol og mikrobielle brændselsceller (MFC).
Beskrive principperne i de fysisk-kemiske processer, såsom
forgasning og forbrænding til omstilling biomasse til energi,
Forklare konkurrencedygtige mikrobielle konverteringer under
forskellige redoxforhold og hvordan miljømæssige parametre påvirker
mikrobiel vækst, og dentificere parametre for procesoptimering
Forstå mikrobiel vækst kinetik og massebalancer, og definere en
simpel matematisk model til at simulere en biologisk proces
Anvende viden i bioteknologiske og termo-kemiske principper for
at designe et bioraffinaderi koncept
Kombiner og udnytte den viden der er opnået i løbet af kurset
for at foreslå nye koncepter / processer til bioteknologiske
anvendelser. Det skal ske ved at udarbejde en "Videnskabelig
projektforslag
.
