Bioenergy

Bioenergy. Instructor: Prof. Mainak Das, Department of Biological Sciences and Bioengineering, IIT Kanpur. This course aims to provide an overview of the basic process, by which solar energy is collected and converted to biomass, which is essentially, what we call bioenergy. During the discourse, emphasis will be given on different strategies to convert biomass to biofuels, the review of the available technologies and how these could meet the growing demand for energy in the future.
