Presentation

Acquire the technical, regulatory and economic concepts necessary to design and implement a territorial residual biomass treatment system and make it evolve. This training will allow you to identify the most efficient ways to valorize biomass treatments, based on in-depth knowledge of scientific principles and existing technologies.

Calendar & registration

Prerequisites

Admissions are based on file applications. Candidates must present a certificate of successful completion of a first cycle degree in Science and/or Technology, and preferably also a certificate of successful completion of a second cycle degree in Science and/or Technology. Candidates holding other diplomas may apply for a VAE and will have their application examined on a case-by-case basis by the scientific committee.

A passive knowledge in English

Target audience

For all people, scientists, entrepreneurs, managers, consultants, experts or others, who are interested in the processing of biomass from forests, parks, gardens, agricultural and food sector, industrial activities such as chemistry, paper and textile industry…

Calendar & registration

Additional information

Biomass is renewable organic material from plants and animals. By processing and valuing biomass from agricultural industry, parks, gardens, households, the food industry and others… a part of the chemical energy of the sun stored in this biomass can be recovered. The biomass can then be burned directly as an energy source or converted into liquid and gaseous renewable fuels. Biomass continues to be an important fuel in many countries.

The scientific and technical approach of this training will be completed by the economic and ecological interest of the valorization of biomass. All this information will allow the participants to highlight the advantages for companies to produce secondary materials and energy using the biomass available to them.

The objective of the training is to give the participants the technical, regulatory and economic concepts to design and implement a territorial waste biomass treatment of residual biomass and to make it evolve. Finally, this training should allow participants to identify the most efficient ways of valorization for biomass treatments, based on the in-depth knowledge of the scientific principles and existing technologies.
