The Biorefinery course focuses on the complex processing of biomass to obtain various valuable products such as biofuels, chemicals and materials. Students will learn about the principles of biorefining processes, the use of different types of biomass and the technologies needed for their efficient processing. The course also includes case studies and analyzes of current trends in the field of biorefineries.

Students will be introduced to the general concept of biorefineries and their role in the chemical industry. Furthermore, students will understand the individual types of biorefineries (sugar, lipid, lignocellulosic, CO2-based, etc.), which are based on the diversity of input raw materials. Increased importance will be given to the chemical composition and structure of the input raw materials. Furthermore, students will be introduced to various physico-chemical processes transforming input raw materials into final energy and chemical products. Last update: Cibulková Jana (05.03.2025)
