Course Description
Fuel derived from renewable resources present an attractive alternative to petroleum, with benefits ranging from reduced green house gases to reduced dependency on foreign oil. "Biofuels" is a new course that provide students with an overview of the cellulose ethanol production process from biomass feedstock to finished product. The course reviews cellulose based biomass that can be pretreated and converted into biofuel. We also explore crop availability and pricing, fuel potential, case studies, and outlook for both food-grade and non food-grade crops.
Course Outcome
After completing Biofiels, students will be equipped with a basic understanding of the following:
Cellulose ethanol production process
Available cellulose biomass sources
Chemistry and composition for each biomass source
Fuel potential derived from each source
Impact on the energy and agricultural sectors
Market and research trends
Recommended Prerequisites
No prior experience or coursework required.
Assessment
Students will be assigned 5 homework assignments, and 1 final exam.
