UVM’s Bioenergy Professional Certificate provides alternative approaches to traditional energy sources in Biofuels, including:
- Liquid Biofuels (seed-based biodiesel; bioethanol; algae-biofuels)
- Solid Biofuels (wood and grass energy)
- Biogas (farm-based energy)
This Certificate Program offers college graduates, farmers, teachers,and entrepreneurs technical exposure to Biofuels science and technology topics that address environmental, economic, social, and other Biofuels-related issues.
Depleting fossil fuel reserves and adverse effects of fluctuating oil prices have reawakened interest in alternative, sustainable sources of energy, and this emerging sector will require a well-trained workforce. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, with the recent government mandate enforcing the use of alternative fuels, demand for new types of fuel production is expected to rise.
Biofuel-related occupations involve a broad range of education and experience. Although some occupations require a bachelor’s degree or higher, there are also opportunities in this field for those with related work experience.
UVM’s Bioenergy Professional Certificate is a great opportunity to understand our current energy issues, as well as explore new clean-energy solutions to improve the health of our environment.
