About the training
Bespoke training: Biomass Pre-treatment for Bioenergy Applications.
Offering and fit: This practical training equips professionals with cutting-edge biomass pre-treatment techniques that are vital for optimising feedstocks in biomethane, biohydrogen, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and biodiesel production. Aligned with the UK Net Zero Strategy, Biomass Strategy (2023), and international frameworks such as the Paris Agreement and UN SDGs, the course bridges science, policy, and industry need to accelerate low-carbon innovation.
Learning objectives: Participants will gain hands-on experience with pre-treatment strategies that tackle real-world industry challenges, including managing feedstock variability to ensure process consistency, mitigating inhibitor formation that hinders downstream conversion, and balancing cost, performance, and scalability to enable successful commercial adoption.
Beneficiary Industries: This course can be tailored and designed for professionals and decision-makers across the bioenergy value chain, including those working in biofuels (SAF, biodiesel, renewable fuels), biogas and biohydrogen (anaerobic digestion, biomethane, green hydrogen), energy-from-waste and utilities, chemical and process industries, as well as agriculture and forestry supply chains.
