Module 1: Biomass Feedstocks & Supply Chains
- Understand the nature, complexities and limitations of biomass resources and their production.
- Quantify constraints on the scalability and sustainability of biomass feedstocks.
- Explore the practicalities of the biomass supply chain.
Module 2: Biomass Conversion Technologies
- Demystify the complex web of conversion processes and pathways; understanding how they fit together, where they compete and where they coexist (including biorefinery concepts).
- Understand how the same feedstock can lead to different products; or the same product can be produced from different feedstocks.
- Explore current and emerging processes for the production of biofuels and biochemicals – plus other energy carriers and end-products.
