Renewable Energy: Practical Introduction to Biogas and AD

Renewable Energy: Practical Introduction to Biogas and AD

Biogas is a renewable energy which is used to generate heat, electricity and fuel.

If you ever wanted to explore this flexible technology, how it can help you treat your organic waste or find out how you can run your biogas plant more efficiently - this is the course for you!

The content was developed in a way to reach both newcomers and experienced audience. You will begin the course with the concept behind biogas and anaerobic digestion.

After that, you will follow the way of the biogas recovery process, starting from the input material treatment, its delivery into the reactor, recovery and use of the products. You will learn about different variations of each of these steps.

Exclusive footage from the operating biogas plants in Germany supports the expert's explanations. You will see what kind of equipment is used and how the plant is maintained.

Additional free bonus material that is included in the course:

• List of abbreviations, our "biogas cheat sheet" which will help you navigate through the terms used within this training

• "Biogas Handbook", which can be also found online for free, written in collaboration with the course instructor

• Summarized lecture notes

• Biogas plant design task

At the end of each module, you are provided with a summary and downloadable lecture notes. You can also take a short quiz to check your understanding of the content.

The final lecture contains calculation of the design parameters of a biogas plant with the estimated output. To really test your newly acquired knowledge yourself, you will also get a separate task to do it yourself and compare it with the suggested solution.
