This course explores the theoretical perspectives on industrial demand for energy, energy supply, energy markets, and national & international policies affecting energy markets. It discusses aspects of the oil, natural gas, electricity, and nuclear power sectors and examines energy tax, price regulation, deregulation, energy efficiency and policies for controlling emission.

This course will focus on the engineering fundamentals of energy. Introduction to different sources of energy and general discussion on their application to generation. The course consists of a study of both all energy technologies and its fundementals and conversion technologies for gaining critical thinking and engineering formulation.

The aim of the course is to provide an understanding of the supply and chemical/physical characteristics of lignocellulosic biomass, as well as of the key techno‐economic barriers and regulatory policies affecting commercial implementation of lignocellulosic biorefineries.

    An important focus is the chemistry and engineering aspects of different (pre)treatment processes, including those integrated into existing  operations. Different biochemical and thermochemical conversion processes and their down‐stream operations to produce liquid fuels, chemicals and biomaterials are reviewed.

The course consists of a study of both technology foresight and its methodologies for gaining strategic thinking and policy formulation.

The aim of the course is to provide an understanding of the chemical/physical characteristics of lignocellulosic biomass. This course also presents articles and information on research, development and applications in thermo-chemical conversion; physico-chemical conversion and bio-chemical conversion, including all necessary steps for the provision and preparation of the biomass as well as all possible downstream processing steps for the environmentally sound and economically viable provision of energy and chemical products.
