This course will introduce processing technologies and systems for production of hydrogen, syngas, liquid fuel as well as heat and power from various energy resources with focus on renewable resources (such as biomass). Energy related environmental issues and analysis, CO2 capture technologies and energy system optimization will be covered. Energy storage including mechanical, electrochemical (batteries) and thermal energy storages, as well as advanced materials for efficient energy storage/processing will be introduced.
At the end of this course, the students are expected to:1. Describe and assess a range of technologies and systems of energy storage. 2. Recognize the urgent need for fossil fuel replacement and evaluate the advantages and challenges of application of gaseous and liquid biofuels.3. Assess technologies and systems for production of gaseous fuels (e.g. syngas, hydrogen) from various renewable resources.4. Apply a range of technologies to mitigate the environmental issues in the energy sector with focus on CO2 capture.5. Apply a range of techno-economic and environmental assessments for production of liquid biofuels using New Zealand biomass resources.
