Ph.D. course: Historical, technological and societal background to forestry and forest-based biorefining in Nordic countries
events |
This course is a general introduction to the development of forest-based biorefineries. It gives a historical, technological and societal background to forest-based biorefining, with focus on the Nordic countries and on sustainable development.
Forest-based biorefineries process forest biomass into e.g. chemicals, materials, fuels and energy using a wide variety of conversion technologies. This course will cover different aspects of biorefining:
- Assessment of forest biomass supply chains for biorefining
- Historical aspects of forestry, forest-industrial processes, and forest-based biorefineries
- Development of main conversion processes for forest biomass (mechanical, chemical, thermal, and biochemical processes)
- Environmental impact and sustainability aspects
