The course will be structured around a seminar series given on-line by the industrial partners in the Resource Smart Processes, during the fall 2024 and spring 2025 (ending mid-March). Each seminar will be given by one of the industrial partner in the program elucidating one specific part of the value chain biomass-to-product and will be followed by a reflecting discussion. Active participation will be required.
Circularity and Resource efficiency in the Processing Industry
- RSP-course
A seminar series within the Industrial Graduate School Resource Smart Processes
Course content:
Learning objectives:
Students should get a general understanding of basic principles and challenges for circularity and resource efficiency in the processing industry and an insight in how these can be addressed in different areas of biomass processing/under different conditions and in different companies.
After the completed course the students should be able to:
- Identify, analyze and compare sustainability challenges of biorefinery processes and engineering/production of materials.
- Explain the ethical complexity of the topic (Resource efficiency in the Processing Industry).
- Explain terms and methods used in the environmental and sustainability context.
