Summary
The course is focused on fermentation processes in order to obtain information about the input raw materials (substrates), by-products and the quality of the gas phase. The course is the transformation of energy collected into electricity and heat.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The course is focused on modern processing technology and use of biomass fermentation. The course is to determine the basic properties of biomass, its distribution and outline options for the use of fermentation.

In the course the student will be familiar with the specifics of the use of dry, wet and ”normal“ - typical of biomass for fermentation, students will be confronted with the state of technology in the Republic and the world.
