The course describes the different types of biomass, the methods of refinery and typical conversion technologies used for biobased products. You'll also engage in a study of the practical and real-life examples emerging in the market: biopolymers, bioenergy, bioflavours, and biosurfactants.
Reduction of energy consumption of buildings is an important step in the move towards a sustainable economy. How can buildings be made net zero energy, in different climates? This course introduces you to zero energy design. It will teach you a stepped approach to design a zero energy climate concept for existing buildings: homes, schools, offices, shops etc.

The Textile Dye Garden at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, is a living laboratory for sustainability education and natural dyeing practices. Established in spring 2021 through The Hazel Siegel Textile Dye Garden Exploration Fund, this carefully cultivated space grows plants and flowers specifically
The biodesign and biofabrication of biomaterials from lignocellulosic plant residues self-generated by fungal mycelium have emerged as a new material …
Bees produce wax through their ceriparic glands which are located in the abdomen. The production of wax is up to bees that have reached at least ten days of life. In fact, durin
Fungi are almost everywhere - in the air you breathe, the soil you walk on, we eat them and yes, they do also live inside of us.
Because of the alarming rate of human population growth, technological improvement should be needed to save the environment from pollution. The practice of business as usual on material production is not creating a circular economy. The circular ...
