Annotation -
The course is focused on technology of mining, processing and use of solid fuels (coal, biomass, energy of usable waste types). Great attention is paid to the impact of these technologies on the environment. The technologies of cleaning of exhaust gases resulting from the combustion of these fuels and technologies of the carbon capture and its storage underground are discussed in detail.
