Objetivos
The aim is to focus on the biorefinery concept and have a better understanding on feedstocks and conversion techniques that are used, thermochemical or biochemical paths. Different types of biorefineries will be characterised and case studies will be analised, focusing on the whole chain from feedstock to products, characterising technologies and operating conditions. In addition, it is aimed to focus on methodologies used for process integration for optimised use of resources and the global efficiency, introducing economic and sustainability aspects. Students should develop technical and technological competences related to biorefineries, identifying and upgrading different types of biomass, biofuels and bioliquids, and develop the capability to identify the best available techniques to be used in accordance with the type of available biomass and the selectivity required towards products.
