An introduction and overview of bioenergy production technologies, including: first generation biochemical technologies to produce biofuels (e.g., from sugarcane, starch, and oilseeds). The course will then describe second generation technologies to produce biofuels (e.g., from lignocellulosics) followed by advanced technologies as well as the so-called "drop-in fuels." It will include the theory and process aspects of hydrogenation-derived renewable diesel. An overview of fuel properties will also be given. Finally the course will conclude with environmental impacts — benefits and issues, economic aspects as well as infrastructure requirements and trade-offs.
