Class Objectives
/Class Outline
In this lecture, students attending the lecture will study on the basic theory of biomass energy technology. The purpose is achieving the philosophy of blending bioethanol and biodiesel into fuels to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide and exhaust gas. In addition, in order to produce biofuels from crop residues, we will discuss the examples of fermentation technologies and methods for identifying and isolating genes related to the amount and sugar content of crop biomass. A comprehensive understanding of breeding and cultivation techniques is also lectured and discussed.
