Contents
The lecture focuses on the sustainable use of renewable resources by biotechnological or chemical means (integrated biorefinery concepts). The following topics will be treated in detail:
- Overview of biorefinery concepts
- Concept of the Biobased Economy
- Coupling of the biorefinery to chemical production networks
- Sugar- and starch-based biorefineries
- Whole plant biorefinery
- Lignocellulose Biorefinery
- Enzymes for biorefineries
- Biorefinery product families (sugar, lignin, biopolymers, specialty chemicals)
Competencies / intended learning achievements
The students are able to
- develop different biorefinery concepts
- make economic and ecological assessments of biorefineries
- reflect existing industrial biorefinery concepts
- understand and evaluate complex industrial concepts for the use of renewable resources
- independently calculate material and energy flows in industrial systems using SuperProDesigner
