Biogastechnologie

The course deals with the production of biogas from agricultural biomass and agricultural residues. Several aspects of the anaerobic digestion of biomass are discussed in frontal lessons, an exercise unit and a group work. The course is designed to be interdisciplinary: microbiological and chemical basics in the production of biogas, process engineering elements (through a detailed examination of the process engineering aspects in the field of agricultural production of biomass and agricultural residues) as well as sustainability aspects (evaluation of the environmental impact, future sustainability) are included.
However, the aim of the course is not to learn detailed knowledge of biogas technology, but primarily to analyse processes and innovations in the field of biogas technology and to identify problems and challenges in selected application areas.
