    The course offered is a review of the physicochemical properties of biomass; fundamentals of solid fuel combustion; biomass energy conversion technologies; environmental impact of biomass energy conversion.

    The course aims to provide students the fundamentals of biomass properties, handling, and combustion, with a strong emphasis on applications.

    At the end of this course, the student will

    1. be able to classify biomass feedstock based on its properties and determine the appropriate handling procedures;

    2. understand the fundamental processing routes for the utilization of biomass such as torrefaction, pyrolysis, and gasification.

    3. know the fundamentals of solid fuel combustion;

    4. be familiar with different biomass technologies for heat and electricity production;

    5. know the environmental impacts of biomass combustion due to the production of ash and the emission of greenhouse gases emissions, NOx, SOx, and particulate matter, and technologies to reduce these impacts;

    6. become familiar with the ongoing research and the most pressing research needs on biomass combustion and co-firing with an emphasis on biomass sustainability and circular economy.
