The knowledge of alternative renewable energy sources such as Biomass is a highly demanded skill by companies at the international level"

The renewable energy sector is in full international expansion and is increasingly demanding engineers specialized in this field. Therefore, the best professionals in the sector have designed for TECH this complete postgraduate certificate that aims to train professionals with advanced knowledge in everything that encompasses the renewable energy sector, specifically in the use of Biomass as a means to increase their working position in today's energy market. 

Specifically, the purpose of this postgraduate certificate is to provide the Engineer with all the necessary training related to the use, exploitation, procurement, conversion and logistics of energy from Biomass in solid state as well as its possible valuations when converting this Biomass into liquid and/or gaseous Biofuels.

The current situation and future forecasts of the biomass and/or biofuels sectors in the European context and the advantages and disadvantages of this type of renewable energy will also be analyzed. In addition, we will study in depth the systems of biomass energy use and biomass resources, differentiating the types of energy production that exist today, their advantages and disadvantages. 

Finally, the student will analyze the processes for obtaining both biodiesel and bioethanol and/or biomethanol, while carrying out an exhaustive review of the information and keeping up to date with legislation and regulations related to biomass and biofuels. 

For all these reasons, this postgraduate certificate in Biomass and Biofuels Energy Systems integrates the most complete and innovative educational program in the current market in terms of knowledge and latest available technologies, as well as encompassing all the sectors or parties involved in this field. Likewise, the postgraduate certificate is supported by exercises based on real cases of situations currently managed or previously faced by the teaching team.
