About the course
Aim
Upon completion of the course, students should be able to:
- identify and account for defined problems within predefined, broad and reality-based challenges for sustainable development
- use interdisciplinary perspectives on production and system integration of biogas and biofertilizer to develop realistic solutions to problems within sustainable development
- both orally and in writing, communicate solutions to actors with different backgrounds and knowledge
Content
The course examines how anaerobic digestion of organic waste can be used to produce biogas and biofertilizer in order to deal with problems related to energy, climate, agriculture and health. The course covers principles for and applications of anaerobic digestion of organic waste, as well as opportunities and obstacles for the implementation of biogas technology in various contexts. The course includes handling challenges involving anaerobic digestion linked societal actors, for example a company, a research project or an authority.
The course introduces natural science perspectives on biological processes, chemical reactions and physical relationships in relation to anaerobic digestion. In addition, engineering perspectives on integration into technical systems are introduced, and social science perspectives on how digestion can contribute to meeting political goals for sustainable development. The course also includes learning processes and group dynamics, as well as project management, communication and critical thinking.
