Course description
Establishment of Recycling-based Society is one of the most important common proposition for us. This course gives an overview of plant biomass that can be used for materials and energy. Especially, it will be focused on lignocellulose which is the main component of plant cell walls. Students are required to learn how we produce materials and energy and which technologies should be used for sustainable development of us.
Expected Learning
Chemical components and characteristics of biomass resources including lignocelluloses

Conversion technologies from biomasses to materials and energy
