Skills to be acquired in this module | Biomass Energy The students gain competencies with critical discourse of competitive uses of biomass between human consumption, animal feed, raw material and fuel. The students are taught the issues concerning biomass transportation as well as the economic and ecological criteria involving its planning and use. They develop criteria, in order to address the complex relation between the future and a sustainable energy supply. The students gain competence to better the living conditions of rural inhabitants in developing countries through improved applications of biomass for daily energy needs.
Perspectives of Bioenergy Das Modul soll die Studierenden befähigen, sich mit verschiedenen Formen der Bioenergie und ihren aktuellen Perspektiven auseinander zu setzen. Hierbei erlangen sie Kompetenzen sowohl in den naturwissenschaftlichen Basalfächern Physik, Chemie und Biologie als auch in Hinsicht auf die energetischen, technischen, ökologischen und ökonomischen Aspekte, die zur synoptischen Bewertung verschiedener Formen der Bioenergie berücksichtigt werden müssen. |
