SEE8207 Bio Energy Systems

The course gives a further in-depth knowledge of relevant fundamental aspects connected to the utilization of biomass and the biomass fractions of waste streams for energy purposes in both biochemical and thermochemical conversion processes for production of 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation biofuels and other products. 

The aims of this course are to:

• Empower the student with in-depth knowledge of how to obtain bioenergy by means of biochemical and/or thermochemical processes using different resources. 

Learning Outcomes

• Students will have gained knowledge on Uganda’s potential for ethanol biodiesel production and able to apply advanced approaches/techniques to its production.
• Students can be able to design systems for harnessing ethanol, biodiesel and biogas in the most appropriate way.
