Intro-Bioenergy-Bioeconomy

Welcome to the course on Introduction to Bioenergy and Bioeconomy. The aim of this program is to understand the overview of the basic concept, conversion to biomass, what we call 'bioenergy'. Through the course, emphasis is given on different strategies to convert biomass to biofuels,available technologies and how these could meet the growing demand for energy in the future.

HIGH DEMAND
Global energy demand is growing rapidly. Demand for bioenergy is rising.

HUGE SUPPLY GAP
Availability of skilled workers at all levels is a challenge today.

BRIGHT FUTURE
A robust bioeconomy will create domestic high-paying job opportunities.

Considering the growing population and demand for dwindling resources, it is very important to adapt Bioeconomy framework as early as possible. The lack of available information, resources and development are bottlenecks. Therefore, this course proposes the analysis of current status of bioeconomy worldwide and how we can take steps forward in developing the bioeconomy.
