Introduction

While educational institutions are becoming much more focused on offering alternative energy and renewable energy curriculums; actual degrees, majors, minors or concentrations in these disciplines are still few and far between. However, if you have an interest in specializing in the emerging biomass and biofuel industries, there are many options available to you in higher education, depending on what type of work and academic experience you are seeking.

Some Community Colleges offer various associates degrees and certificate programs, which essentially prepare the graduate for work in renewable energy production and management. Graduates from these programs can expect to find employment as system installation and maintenance technicians, lab technicians and other entry level positions. Some of these programs also prepare the student to move to a 4 year college to obtain a bachelors degree.

In terms of 4 year, masters and doctorate programs, renewable energy focus can be approached from various academic angles. Almost all of these programs are interdisciplinary. Departments and colleges within Universities which typically have a focus in the biofuels and biomass disciplines include Chemical and Agricultural Engineering, Biosciences, Environmental Sustainability and Resource Use, Forestry and Land Resource Management, Energy Production, Sustainability and Engineering programs.

The European Masters in Renewable Energy coordinated by the European Renewable Energy Centers Agency allows students to study in one of 4 different European countries and then perform field work in another area of Europe.

The European Master in Renewable Energy is an initiative proposed and developed by the European Renewable Energy Research Centers EUREC Agency. The agency was established as a European Economic Interest Grouping in 1991 to strengthen the European efforts in renewable energy technologies.

The aim of the European Master in Renewable Energy is to train post-graduate students to fill the gap between the growing industry demand for specialized renewable energy expertise and the skills currently available on the job market.

Structure The course is divided into three sections. In the first semester, the students acquire a solid foundation in key renewable energy technologies. In the second semester, they specialize in a chosen technology at a different university and at the end of the course, the students complete a practical or research project.

The program run on a modular basis with credits awarded for passing each section and the successful completion of the project. A total of 90 ECTS credits (30 for each section of the course) are required to obtain the European Master degree.

Delivery The course is delivered by experts from the participating universities and where appropriate, from other industrial, research and educational institutions. The taught material includes lectures, tutorials and laboratories.

Aston University, Birmingham, UK  Bioenergy Research Group The Bioenergy Research Group (BERG) is one of the largest university based research groups in thermal biomass conversion in the world. It was formed in 1986 as a focus for a range of inter-related activities in biomass conversion and environmental studies related to global warming and has grown into a substantial multi-disciplinary research effort.

The objective of the BERG is to apply chemical-engineering science and technology to help provide the world with sufficient energy, fuels and chemicals from renewable and sustainable resources to meet tomorrow's needs To this end BERG is developing novel thermal processes whereby agricultural wastes, fast-growing wood, annual crops and biogenic wastes can be thermally converted in a biorefinery, using both fast pyrolysis and intermediate pyrolysis, into oils and gases which can, in turn, be used to generate electricity and produce transport fuels and chemicals.  READ MORE

Aston University in Birmingham, UK is involved in a € 3.73m (£3.4 million) research project, which will transform organic residues from biofuel production processes into a renewable biofuel that can reduce reliance on fossil diesel imports. ... This project is based on second generation products from whole biomass with higher yields and which do not compete with food.  In particular we will be processing the residues from these processes which will further improve performance and minimise waste disposal. "We want to bring together a global network of experts and researchers, who are able to build upon existing biofuel technologies. This will help to pave the way for large scale biofuel production by 2020, in a way that doesn't impact on land usage and similarly helps solves the problems of growing amounts of organic waste."  The scheme is set to strengthen research collaboration between Europe and Latin America, with a Scholarship Scheme enabling PhD and post doctoral researchers to undertake biofuel production. A series of public lectures and presentations are also planned to engage the general public with the DIBANET scheme.  READ MORE

Masdar Institute The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology in Abu Dhabi will lead the study with Boeing and Honeywell's UOP of Jet Fuel Made from Saltwater Plants.  It will examine the overall potential for sustainable, large-scale production of biofuels made from salicornia bigelovii and saltwater mangroves - plants known as halophytes. The Government of Abu Dhabi founded the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology to research and develop alternative energy and sustainable technologies.

Masdar Institute is an independent, non-profit graduate institution established with the support and cooperation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, recognized as one of the world's premier scientific institutions. Yale University's School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and UOP will also participate in the analysis, which will include an assessment of the total carbon lifecycle of biofuels.

About Halophytes Halophytes is a productive sources of biomass energy.  Halophytes thrive in arid land and can be irrigated with sea water, making it suitable for biofuel development. The halophyte study will evaluate aquaculture management and practices, land use and energy requirements and identify any potential adverse ecological or social impacts associated with using halophytes for aviation biofuel development.

Procedure The integrated approach uses saltwater to create an aquaculture-based farming system in parallel with the growth of mangrove forests and Salicornia, a plant that thrives in salty water. These biomass sources can be sustainably harvested and used to generate clean energy, aviation biofuels and other products. This closed-loop system converts aquaculture into an affordable, nutrient-rich fertilizer for both plant species. READ MORE.

To verify data gathered during the analysis, the halophyte study will be peer-reviewed by third parties and measured against practices and principles developed by the Roundtable for Sustainable Biofuels and supported by members of the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Users Group READ MORE and MORE.

The technology of evolutionary seawater farming has been pioneered by Dr. Carl Hodges of Global Seawater Inc.
