This online, instructor-led course introduces students to the principles and technologies used to convert biomass into energy, including direct combustion, gasification, and anaerobic digestion. With a focus on commercial-scale applications, students will explore the role of bioenergy in Canada’s energy mix, and its potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and support a low-carbon future.
Through practical and theoretical learning, students will examine bioenergy system components, fuel sources, conversion technologies, emissions considerations, and sustainability strategies. The course is ideal for learners interested in renewable energy, carbon reduction, and alternative fuel systems.
