Today’s industries face enormousglobal challenges when it comes to the fossil-based economy. Fossil resources are no longer a desirable feedstock for many products and governments’ climate goals put various limitations to its usage. Moreover, consumer perception has become an increasingly important factor.With biobased products as an alternative to the fossil-based economy, the bioeconomycan provide viable solutions to these challenges. The course describes the different types of biomass, the methods of refinery and typical conversion technologies used for biobased products. You'll also engage in astudy of the practical and real-life examples emerging in the market: biopolymers, bioenergy, bioflavours, and biosurfactants. The course has been developed by a team of experts from seven different institutions and universities in three different countries,all sharing their personal perspectives on the opportunities and challenges faced by the biobased industry. The three top-ranked institutions Delft University of Technology, RWTH Aachen University, and Wageningen University & Research offer additional, more advanced courses to continue your learning journey: Industrial Biotechnology: a more advanced course that digs deeper into engineering aspects of bio-based products. MicroMasters Chemistry and Technology for Sustainability: Help drive the transition from fossil sources to renewable energy ones and engineer a biobased future.
