Biofuels Process Engineering

Format: Campus

Program Description:

Course overview
The UK, along with many other countries, has entered into legally binding targets for renewable energy usage by 2020 with biofuels and biomass contributing on a growing global scale. However, early biofuel technologies exerted pressure on land, food and water supplies which prohibited the sustainability of large scale deployment. The future of biofuels will be in the delivery of biofuels from waste and sustainable feedstocks that will not compete with food production.
In order to meet these targets and continue the development of scalable biofuel solutions a significant number of highly trained engineers are required both in the UK and across the world.
The MSc in Biofuels Process Engineering is delivered via a combination of structured lectures, tutorial sessions, computer based workshops and private study. Knowledge and understanding are further enhanced by seminars that are delivered by invited industrial or academic experts along with industrial site visits.
